"rares"? You mean "invalid" or "incorrect" characters?

I assume your vim was compiled with support for multi-byte characters?

It sounds like a locale problem.

Is that a valid locale on your system? When you run `locale -a`, is 
es_ES@euro in the list? If it's not, then your LANG setting is 
incorrect.

I'm guessing that you probably either want to set LANG to 
es_ES.ISO8859-15 or es_ES.UTF-8, depending on the output of `locale 
- -a`.

DO NOT set the charset yourself. It's *almost* always a bad idea 
(translation: if you don't know what you're doing, don't fuss with 
it).
