Yes, I just don't know why it does not work in Seaside, normally special characters should just work, no need to do anything special.

What needs to be added is 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

in front of the .html, like:

$ cat /tmp/test.html 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><html><head><title></title></head><body onload="onLoad()">Ñuñoa<script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/function onLoad(){};/*]]>*/</script></body></html>

When opening an HTML file locally, there is no mime-type added by the server, hence the browser does not know the encoding.

Here is another live example (independent of Seaside):
