Encoding for the Spanish Accented Characters

[eBob.com]

I have an encoding problem. But how do you determine which encoding handles
which characters? I've tried to find such info in MSDN but have not been
able to find it. I suppose Unicode handles 'em all, but maybe that is
overkill. My specific problem is with the accented characters in Spanish -
e.g. é, ń, and ü.

Thanks, Bob

Really, go Unicode.

Since you post here, you are talking .NET
And .NET is Unicode from the ground up.
Even if you store the data in the file using ANSI encoding (1252, for
Spanish), when you load/save it you will have to convert, keep track
of encodings when you add a non-1252 language, you gain nothing.

No, I don't think it is overkill :-)
