why "imap ;áo ção" doesn't work? # i.e., imap ;<255>o <231><277>o

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to abbreviate or imap latin caracteres. At first, i tried that:

imap ;áo ção      # imap ;<255>o  <231><277>o

I didn't work. 

After doing some searching, I in vain did that

imap ;áo <C-v>231<C-v>227o # imap ;<255>o  <231><277>o

This does not solve too.

imap ;<C-v>255o <C-v>231<C-v>227o # imap ;<255>o  <231><277>o

Does anyone know that I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Leo
