For example the following string
áéíóúäëïöü£
is replaced with
áéíóúääëïöü£
When I reload the html document in my browser after editing and saving with BlueGriffon the Latin 1 characters are gibberish.
It not only occurs with Latin 1 characters. Characters such as $#9492; and $#9494; are also replaced.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
The document is rendered as gibberish in FireFox, Chrome, and IExplore.

It's not the DOCTYPE you should be looking at but the Language and
Character Set lines you should check, also the Preference settings.
Run the "New Wizard" under the File menu and pick the appropriate
Language and Character Set on the second screen. Whatever you pick
there will become the default for future "New" documents.
Also check:
Tools > Preferences > Source > Serialization
and pick an appropriate option of entities.
