Of Google and accentuated letters

I always though that Google doesn't take into account accents on letters (i.e.: à is the same as a). Until today, when I realized that searching for "tai shogun" would return pages with "Taï Shogun" but not "Taï Shõgun" (to get those, you need to type in the õ - and then you only get pages with õ as a result).

I'm kind of confused about what causes this behavior but anyway, since most people will skip on the accent when searching, I'm replacing any õ on my site with plain o's.
