   Hi.
   I've got a blog in Spanish.
   When I try to render a RSS feed in my sidebar, some characters are not displaying correctly.

   For example, the ´ character is changing in ?
   How can I fix this?
   Where can I set characters codification?

   That's, usually, not a problem on your end: it is because the feeds you are displaying have different encoding than your blog.

   So, how can I fix this?
   Any suggestion?

   There is nothing really you can "fix". Until the whole web will use utf-8 - that will fix it automatically.

   Ok, but if I change into UTF-8 in OPTIONS, they appear another strange characters, so I think that UTF-8 is not correct codification for spanish language.

   I don't really care what you think... because I know that utf-8 is universal and it works with all languages.

   Is your blog set to utf-8? That's the default if you don't mess with it.

   Same issue going on here. Both feed and blog are checked to be UTF-8 yet some characters, most notable ' display questionmarks. What gives?

   Turns out that Polyglot (multi-language plugin) offers a setting for localizing RSS-feeds. Once set the problem was solved.
