Foreign language special characters and wordpress problems

    Hi all
    I just noticed an odd problem which has only just manifested after about 40 blog posts and I can't figure out why!

    Usually I type any special characters I need for Portuguese in Word then cut and paste them into notepad and then cut and paste that to my blog (that way I wasn't getting any horrible stuff by cutting in straight from Word).

    This has been working perfectly and now suddenly I have noticed all my previous posts have mangled special characters! Yet the blog post I just made is fine.

    I don't understand it!

    Does anyone know how I can write Portuguese characters straight into my wordpress - I don't want to keep messing around with cutting and pasting!

    Alternatively is there a way to make wordpress recognise I'm not writing in English?

    Thanks!
