TECH: Front Page Express et al.

I am actually at work on a webpages for Kash, presently retyping a lot of
stuff using MS Front Page Express, which is a WYSIWYG thingy.  I've noted
that characters like ñ, ç, á etc. (which I can type directly from Intl.
keyboard) appear just that way in the HTML version (also if I use the Alt
Num codes).  Shouldn't they have HTML codes?   Or is FPE somehow smart
enough  to convert the symbols to the codes whenever I upload the page to a
server (somehow I doubt it.....). Or doesn't it matter?  Should I edit the
HTML, adding the codes where necessary?   Thought I'd better ask before I go
too much further.
Any other advice will be welcome.  Thanks in advance.  Roger.
