There is two parts to this. Firstly you are using Percent-encoding (aka  
URL encoding) which maps spaces to plus signs and characters to %XY tokens  
wiht X and Y being a hexadecimal digit. This works as intended. Secondly  
you are encoding the characters according to utf-8 which maps "'" to %27  
and "ó" to %C3%B3. However, for displaying ISO-8859-15, Windows-1252 (aka  
CP 1252) is used which interprets %C3 as  and %B3 as ³.

Try either switching to utf-8 or - if this is not possible - using %F3 as  
the proper encoding of "ó" for the given character set.
