Equivalent in the following sense: if the text includes ñ (these are 2
separate characters, they are just combined for display), then
searching for either n or ñ (a single character in both cases) should
find that 2-character sequence.
This follows the "canonical equivalence", described in more detail
here:

It _is_ about how characters are used, see above.
And you don't need to insist, you can just turn it off in your

contrary, for various valid reasons.
