All you should have to do is import a TTF font that has those characters. The reason they don't work in AGS by default is because the default font only includes the standard A-Z characters.

Or you can edit the default font in the way that a unusefull char (®, for example) represent the char you want. Any font have around 20 chars that are almost never used and you can replace it.

Then, in the game you only need include ® in a place of the specified char.
For example, i replaced ® with ñ
Now, in the game editor, i must write

Display ("Los ca®ones de Navarone");

And the game will display "Los Cañones de Navarone";

(You can use SCI Studio to edit SCI fonts.)

Hope this helps
