JayBird JDBC driver in this case "sends" content in the UTF-8 encoding to
the server (in your case it passes it to the embedded server library). I
suspect that the library does not "understand" UTF-8. Try using some
WINXXXX or ISOXXXX encoding (I think WIN1252 should be sufficient for
"á"). Also ask in the Firebird-Support list, it might be limitation of
Firebird.
