It obviously reports that you tried to compose ñ, which failed. So you have the combining accent character and the n character side by side. How did you try to compose?

In Terminal you are using Terminal's ability to display Unicode characters. GNU Emacs is just a guest there. It's different when it uses its own windows.
The NS variant uses a lot of Emacs software to, for example, render text. There is a set of patches and some extra source files available at /ftp:anonymous@ftp.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp:/ (in TRAMP notation). This set, emacs-24.1-mac-3.0.tar.gz, plus the released code for GNU Emacs 24.1 build, when configured --with-mac, together the "AppKit Emacs" which is much more integrated into Mac OS X, uses much more of Mac OS X than GNU Emacs. Try it! (You need to compile and install it yourself.)

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
