Paul, as an Spaniard with 30+ years of experience with computers, I can
assure you that accented letters is a non-issue since a *long* time ago.
I can't remember having issues with accents since I'm using PCs, that's
20+ years. The only way you can have problems with accented letters is
if you lie to the OS saying that your keyboard is not Spanish.
However, I'm lost if you ask me how to input "‘" and "’" (see, I
copy&pasted from your text). Probably I would use the Emacs Unicode
facilities looking for something that looks like those chars, and hope I
arrive at the actual chars and not at something with the same looks but
that's not quite the same.
