Well, I'm no master at ODBC connection strings, but I can't see that you
specify a connection character set anywhere, so I can only assume that
it is NONE. In that case, if the GUI (a webpage?) encodes the Ñ in
Windows Unicode (UTF-16 or something), it will be sent to FB exactly as
is. When FB then tries to interpret the stream of bytes received as an
UTF8 string, it fails, because that's not what it got.

Try to add connection character set UTF8 to the ODBC connection string.

The ODBC driver should come with a connection (datasource) editor. Use
that to create a datasource and then extract the connection string from
that.
