    I have a website which is in Spanish and the title tag includes the character "ñ".

    Google is not very happy with this and instead of showing my nice beautifl ñ it shows: 鎙

    Anyone know a way around this?

    Your issue can be defined by the following:

    What is the keyboard in the US. What is the default character set used on a computer in the US.
    What is the keyboard in the Mexico. What is the default character set used on a computer in the Mexico.
    What is the keyboard in the Spain. What is the default character set used on a computer in the Spain.

    You must detect what the default character set being used on the computer and then switch to that language page. Multilingual Search Engine Marketing and Optimization is a bitch and then to SEO for that, good luck.

    You must dynamically detect the location/language of the search, and then change the character set the web page uses to display the translated web page.

    Thanks for your answer... I don't really follow though, you think the problem is in my PC? But the error is showing on Google SERPs?
