@mathewi I was about to be all wtf - but apparently with the US layout it's not possible. Didn't know they didn't have the Alt Gr Key - AltGr + E = É in the UK layout.

@mathewi @oliof I do the same with "Älmhult" 😅

@aunteef @mathewi thanks for that! Apart from having multiple virtual keyboards on my Mac and iOS devices, I also use https://www.unicodeit.net when I know the LaTeX equivalent of what I need…

@mathewi I learned the arcane arts of alt + 0233 in the 1990s.

There are some who say this hidden apocrypha can still be deciphered in the scrolls of Character Map.

Praise the Omnissiah!

@wandrecanada @mathewi Why do it simply when you can do it in a complicated and mysterious fashion, you mean? Are there really no keyboard layouts for English in Windows that would provide dead diacritics or other trivial and mnemonic way to get common accented letters? Numeric codes are so last century. Sorry.
