geocoding

I'm getting some problems trying Google Geocoding service when using special characters like "º" or letters with accents.

Whenever I try something like: "barcelona, nº 10"

I get 0 results. But trying: "barcelona n 10"

I get results...

I suspect is something related with encoding. I tried this:

geocoder.geocode({'address': encodeURI( $('#direction').val() )}, function(){} );

But didn't help.

Any Idea?
