UTF-8 in a custom module

This is my problem, I just try to create a new module but I am from Costa Rica and it has to be displayed in spanish, so I need this kind of characteres ñ,í,ó,ú,é,á, and I dont know what I have to modified in each module because in my web.config I change the line of globalization for this one <globalization culture="es-MX" uiCulture="es" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" fileEncoding="UTF-8" /> but it doesn't work.Thanks

Re: UTF-8 in a custom module

when saving your module information in the database, do you use UTF data types, i.e nVarChar and nText?
