roRegex doesn't work with special characters

I’m trying to take a comma delimited string and split it into an array which is working with normal characters, however, I’m seeing issues with special characters like in the following comma delimited list:

"John, Tiña, Will"

The following code works without the special “ñ”, but not with. Am I doing something wrong with the regex here?


list = "John, Tiña, Will"
regex = CreateObject("roRegex", ",", "") ' split on comma
print regex.Split(list)

Any tips? Solutions?
