Here is a minimal sample to reproduce the problem:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{ll}
\textbf{Número}
& \textbf{Descripción}
\endhead
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
When I run this with xelatex, I get:
Runaway argument?
{Descripci������ \endhead \end {longtable} \par \end {document} \par
! File ended while scanning use of \textbf .
Now, if I replace the ó with \'o, that part works fine (but then why
would I be using xelatex?) but the Número ends up displaying as N.
As far as I can tell the problem is with handling of multibyte
characters. Removing the \textbf{} from around the problem phrase
ends up having it rendered as Descripciendhead, suggesting several
more bytes are being assumed to be part of the character than actually
are.
Best Wishes,
