Top post only.
If on windows one only has to install the locales (along with the
keyboard mapping).
On a *Nix environment it will depend on which one, and on whether
X-Windows is being used or not.
But IT IS PRIMARALY a OS setup that is needed to allow for both input
and display of such characters.
On some cases its possible to have the OS prepared for it already, but
still be using a program that is not prepared to allow for thesechars.
Not very common on these days.
So even the US guys can have this, but the main problem is that most
english based people will be completely ignorant on this matter, as
they have never needed it, so they dont even know what to do to have
them.
On the other hand, a Spanish or Portuguese or French will always be
aware of this problem.
(I am Portuguese for those that dont know, and working in Ireland. My
Work PC's have both Irish and Portuguese keyboards installed, so I can
use either when I need.)

To get ANY accented character you need to have you editor and your
workstation prepared to accept those, and eventually also your OS.
For example a "ã" is done by pressing "~" followed by a "a". Similar
for "ñ".
What editor does that? ~n
~N
In Unix environment? VI (and all other standard Unix like editors),
QEDIT and others.
As I said this is a OS problem mainly, followd by emulator (if using a
OS that requires one), and only then a editor. For example Unix vi may
in some OS versons require further configuration definitions.
