Would this not prevent the NVC from finding the correct address?

They do not need to find the address.  Once the petitioning sponsor moves back to the US, they will need to file the I-865.  And the petitioning sponsor has to move back to the US.

I think my husband was unclear in his initial post. I'm filling out the I-864 affidavit of support as his sponsor, from the US. I'm having a problem where it asks me for the intended immigrant address and I can't put it because it has special characters. I'm worried they will need his address and not be able to find it. I could hand write it, but i am not sure if there is a rule about only using Latin letters.

Again, not an issue.  The I-864 is enforced when the beneficiary is in the US.  As long as he is in his country, the I-864 has no relevance.

I see, thank you!

You will need to print, sign, scan and upload the I-864.  If you or your spouse is bothered by the discrepancy, handwrite the "o" on top of the A when you sign the form.

 

I can get particular about certain things, so I understand if this is bothersome.

Is the same true for CEAC? We are filling out the DS-260 and it will not let us put any specialized characters. Employers information as well as school and my husbands address and job address information contain those. I'm replacing them with Latin letters but will they be able to get the information they need?

If they cannot, they will inform you

Zero issue, anyone in Sweden is used to substituting åäö with a a o or aa ae oe, even though åäö are separate letters of the alphabet. In essentially all cases mailing addresses have enough redundant information that this is never a problem.

 

Swedish passports use Å=AA Ä=AE Ö=OE in the OCR-section since the standard for those lines uses a limited character set.
