Default Web query and special characters

Hello,
I have a simple HTML data dump which has special characters: áéíóúñ
In the HTML source I placed
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

When I download this table, all the accents are translated into unprintable
characters.
I know there are macros which remove these unprintable characters, but then
the word in uncomplete

código gets downloaded as cädigo and cleaned up it turns into cdigo.

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks

this was fixed by changing the meta tag to
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8""Marcelo"
