GNU Emacs 23.2.1 counts it as two, and puts the cursor at s.

For the simpler case of:

/* ñ */ asdf;

we print 

test.c:3:10: error: ‘asdf’ was not declared in this scope

whereas emacs counts only 1 char, so it again puts the cursor at s. I am not
sure whether Emacs is following some GNU standard, but the case of ñ versus n,
should at least produce the same result.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on this.
