Hmm, you get "í" correctly, I don't, I get first "´" and then "i".

How do I get my current charmap?

I do have $LANG set to en_US.utf8, see one of my prior e-mails where
you can see some outputs regarding locales and the like, everything is
set to utf8 (I'm copying part of those setting at the bottom, where
32658 is the process ID of urxvt running)...  Other than those things
I provided output for, I'm not aware of other settings...  On xorg
conf, I just set the layout to latam (latin america spanish), plus
ralt option for alt-gr...  I'm also using terminus fonts which have no
problems with utf-8...  Again, please look at my prior e-mail for
outputs regarding locales...  If I'm missing something you'd suggest
to provide, please let me know what and how to get it...

Thanks,

Javier.
