The encoding of the script file is UTF-8, this means that you need to
use UTF8 as the **connection** character set. The problem is not one of
the database or Firebird, but with how the byte sequence in the script
file is to be interpreted. This is done by setting the connection
character set.

If you want to use ISO9959_1 instead, then you should save your file
with ISO-8859-1 as encoding.

Alternatively, if you can't easily get your editor to save as ISO-8859-1
or Windows-1252, you will need to use a character set introducer in your
script file, eg

COMMENT ON COLUMN ADICIONALES.ADI_SERVID IS _UTF8'Servidor Nº';

This should instruct Firebird to interpret this specific literal in
UTF-8 and not the current connection character set. You will probably
need to do this for any literal that contains non-ASCII (ie chars other
than 0 - 127).
