Most modern OSs have special bindings for special characters. On a Mac it's like alt+ e e for é. I think it's just alt + e on Linux.

Don’t you guys have dead keys? On German keyboards there’s a key that does nothing on its own. When you press it twice, you get '`', and when you press that button and 'e' you get è.

Many people confuse this for the apostrophe which brings me into a murderous rage every time I see it.
