My link says something like example.com/coraçoes
When I click on the link I get a 404 page saying
"Not Found
The requested URL /coraçoes was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
For some reason it is changing the word coraçoes for coraçoes, causing it to give the 404
Does anyone know why it is doing this? Or where can I look for more info about how to solve this? I have been glued to my computer for the last couple of days and I just can't figure it out
Thanks
In my opinion it is not a very good idea to use any special characters in folders or filenames.
One way you could try to solve the problem is to replace the spanish c with the ascii code of the character: "ç" or "ç".
So your link should say: URL/curaçoes
You can find the HTML/ASCII character list by Googling "html codes". I would post a link to the page but I think it would just be edited out.
Hope this helps.

Some sites (for example Wikipedia) handle encoded URIs well, but you have to be careful and consistent with character encoding. My personal preference remains with transliteration despite the limitations of the approach, as it is technically the easiest to implement and resembles the way that search engines handle accented searches.
Accented (ie. non US-ASCII) characters in URIs have to be encoded for transmission.
Just an observation... FF2 appears to 'automatically' encode the URI if the page encoding is iso-8859-1 (not utf-8). Other browsers don't and nor does FF2 if it's utf-8. (?)
Encoded: ç = %E7
