The acute alone is a code over the 127 value and is totally specific of the 
codification standard. We (latin people) use the ISO 8879 Latin 1 codification 
(suitable for english too), but polish, hungarian, etc uses Latin 2 and russian 
people use 8859-6. To ensure that the user will see the right character the 
HTML standard stablish ISO 8879 Latin 1 as standard BUT the user must signal 
all the special characters with either the name or the number of it. For 
example: 

á (a with acute acent) is #aacute;
à (a with grave acent) is #agrave;

Seems that the browser failed to interpret the text, perhaps is quoted or 
something like that. Perhaps a bug in your browser.
