Say, I just found – quite by accident – the solution for all those messed-up characters, at least for self-hosted WordPress bloggers: the Search and Replace plugin. Works very well. (I have a bunch of Spanish-language texts in my archives, hence my concern.)

I would strongly advise using the HTML entities rather than keyboard shortcuts. I’ve always done the latter, and twice now they’ve all been lost while exporting my blog. Some feed readers don’t display them correctly, either. So from now on I’m using HTML for all letters with diacritical marks.
