Spanish n problem

PHP:
string [effect] buffbot_buffs;
load_current_map("HAR_Buffbot_Data", buffbot_data);
map_to_file(buffbot_data, "HAR_Buffbot_Data.txt");

I've been trying out Zarqon's map manager with a data file, and as you can see somewhere along the line the n's in jalapeno and jabanero are getting munched. This occurs with a regular or Spanish n. Can anyone suggest where the problem might be occurring? I could work around the problem by making the key a string rather than an effect and modifying the script accordingly, but I thought I'd ask here first in case there's a better solution.

I'm not having this problem at all. Check out my stock map here. You'll see that my jabañero-flavored chewing gum is faithfully stored there.

PS. A tilde over an n is called an eñe. (Pronounced enye.)

Thanks Bale :)

I was feeling awkward for not knowing that (I'm a massive grammar pedant, and evidentially that applies to other languages too :)).

Wow. I learned a new word eñe and decided to look up pedant just to be sure I knew that one as well. Thanks.

A perhaps related tangent. I want a *nix command line utility that would 'expand' special characters so that jabañero became jabañero and so on. KoLmafia's encoding change broke some of my *nix scripts and I'd like to fix them but my search fu has been woefully inadequate. Usually that means the answer is so obvious I am missing it but I'm not too proud to ask. Thanks.

Check into the htmlize package, if it's available for your distribution... That does the other side of conversion, at least. :)

Edit: Or this script?

Thanks. I'm actually using Cygwin and the sed script goes in the wrong direction but I pretty much know what I need to do now. I will copy and paste from the script and craft what I need.
