[Zope] Extended characters in Zope

I have to deal with documents and its attributes wich have a lot of extended
characters in them, like the "ñ" or the hyphened "á"..."ú" vocals in spanish.

The ones who download the pages in Windows don't have any trouble. The ones who
use Mac  will see strange characters, as it might be expected. Updating a page
or propertie from a Mac will cause the same problem for Windows users, because
Zope doesn't convert the extended characters to the web-friendly format when
properties are added.

I'd also like to search in Zcatalog using these extended characters, ie.
"Effects of El Niño", from any platform. Is there a workaround for this
situation?

p.d  I'm sure that european Zopists have already faced  this problem and
probably found a solution. Unfortunately I couldn't find it at the archives.
