How to display latin characters in vbscript MsgBox

I have a vbscript that open message box, but I'm making an spanish version of the program and the latin characters are not displaying well:

MsgBox "No se ha instalado la Consola de Administración pues debe tener instalado Internet Explorer 8 o superior.", vbExclamation, "Atención"

But when I execute the script this is what is displayed:

enter image description here

As you can see, the Latin characters are not well formatted, does someone could advise me how to fix it?

I had the same issue, i saved the vbs file encoded in ANSI (option available in the "save as" dialog box in notepad). It worked fine for me and spared me the hassle of using chr(#) (yes i'm lazy)

context : script running on windows 10 virtual machine on debian host.

you need to use the chr(#) equivalent 

MsgBox "No se ha instalado la Consola de Administraci" + chr(242) + "n pues debe tener instalado Internet Explorer 8 o superior.", vbExclamation, "Atenci" + chr(242) + "n"
