Insert problems

I'm trying to insert a string into a table. The string i a part of a webpage and it contains some sign that the webbrowser translate to for example (åäö) Swedish. å=å
But when I insert this I get a question:

Enter value for aring:

The column is a varchar.
Why?
I have tried to get info about the & but I can't find any.

Thanks
Henrik
