The problem was with the web interface, which I hadn't yet updated for the 0.30 version of HTML::WikiConverter. Version 0.30 adds support for preserving HTML entities in text nodes, but at the time this bug was filed the web interface was relying on the 0.2x functionality. This doubly-escaped (and hence severely fouled up) all HTML entities, and apparently your browser was using "?" in place of the unknown characters. I've resolved this by removing the web interface's extra HTML entity-escaping step. I've also added a "Escape HTML entities" option there, which if enabled shows you "ó" in the resulting wiki markup rather than "รณ". That should resolve things. -- David Iberri
