Google reporting 404 when page exists

404, google, special characters

[Albionx]

Hello,

Iīm working on <my site> and iīm using urlīs with a "ņ" character. I know this is not very standart but iīve seen other sites using ņ in their urlīs and Google recognizing it.

If you enter the URL, it transforms the "ņ" character into "%C3%B1" which must be the utf-8 equivalent.
Well, my site has a
www.example.com.ar/diseņo/diseņo-de-sitios-web.php
path, that actually transforms to:
www.example.com.ar/dise%C3%B1o/dise%C3%B1o-de-sitios-web.php
which should be correct.

The problem is that Google isnīt indexing this page and on Google Webmaster Tools, iīve got a 404 reported for it.

Do you know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Regards,
Albion

Would that URL encoded translation, etc happen in the browser? If so, I wouldn't expect googlebot to do that.

Could you no just refer to the correct characterset in your http headers and leaving the URLs alone?
