Rendering correctly accentuated characters should be the duty of the
underlying layers. Getting them to work correctly is sometimes tricky under
linux.

A few guesses:
- if running octave as an Emacs sub-process, add this to your .emacs:
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
- add to your .profile :
 export LANG=es_ES.UTF-8  
- be sure to select the right locale at your login screen, to ensure LANG is
transmitted to all the programs started by the session manager.
