Ranking with "kéyword" but not with "keyword"

Hello. I have a domain which is 6 month old. I offer a special service which hasn't existed in this field of business so far, so I was able to get a lot of links from people using this service.

Although most people are linking to me with the product-name ("keyword"), my position with this name is still about 387 or so. As I checked my position today, I mistyped and found myself ranking for "kéyword" at position 2.

Any idea what kind of filter is applied or what I could do about it?

G has become very clever with understanding misspellings. Have you checked if the "k�yword" appears somewhere on your page? Some of the misspellings are so rare that if you have them on your page you will get a hit.

I'm just curious, does that kéyword appear in your domain name? If so, type that into the browser address bar. Where does it go?

Hi and thanks for your replies. I neither have "kéyword" on my page nor in my domain-name - I checked this several times. I even have no links with this anchor-text. And it works for ALL domains.

It seems that G is thinking of a misspelling and really searchs for "keyword". And it seems that filters applying for "keyword" are not applied for "kéyword".
