Before giving you the feedback, let me tell you that my question was not
well formulated ;-((
I should have asked you to describe what you saw and not only to resend me
the text line. Some did that, others not (See above what you should have
seen). Also the numcer of respondents was not enough for a complete
statistics.

The results: the Portuguese special characters have been well received in
Australia, Bolivia, Brasil, Israel and Latvia. They have NOT been well
received by (the only) one respondant from USA.

Now, what we should have seen in this line:

>Á À Â Ã á à â ã ç é è ê ç ó ò õ ô ç

is:

4 capital A's each one with a dfferent type of accents
4 normal a's with the same 4 accents
A c with a cedilla (a "," under the c)
3 e's with different accents (no tilde)
Again c with cedilla (my "separator")
4 o's with diffrent accents
A final c with cedilla

If someone doesn't see that and wants to inform me privatelly I would
appreciate. Thanks

Artur

PS: one more thing - I could't receive (read) Hebrew characters that were
also sent to me (on my request ;-).
