U+00E9. The e with an acute accent, the accent aigu of French. English keeps it in borrowed words such as résumé and sauté.
U+00E8. The e with a grave accent, which slopes the other way from the accent of é. In Italian è by itself is the word for is.
U+00EA. The e with a circumflex, the mark Unicode also calls a hat. French writes ê in words that once had another letter, usually an s, after the e.
U+00EB. The e with two dots, a diaeresis: the dots say that the e is sounded on its own, as in Noël. In Albanian ë is a letter of the alphabet.
U+00C9. Capital é, and the one capital on this page with a three-digit Alt code.
U+00C8. Capital è.

Which accent is which

French calls the accent of é the accent aigu and that of è the accent grave. The hat of ê is a circumflex. The 2 dots of ë are a diaeresis; the letter is also known as e umlaut, after the German name of the same mark.

The capitals

Each small letter of the four has two Alt codes: a short one from the old PC character set and a four-digit one that begins with a zero. Of the capitals only É has a short one, Alt+144. È, Ê and Ë take the four digits: 0200, 0202 and 0203.

  • The other letters, from ē to ệ, are in neither Alt code table: copy one, or write its HTML code.
  • With a Compose key, Compose, apostrophe, e types é, and Compose, grave accent, e types è.

Questions and answers

How do you make an e with an accent on a keyboard?

On Windows, hold Alt and type 0233 on the number pad. On a Mac, hold the e key until the accent menu opens, or press Option+E, then E. Each way types é; for another accent the code or the first key changes.

What is e accent grave?

è, the e with a grave accent, U+00E8: Alt+138 or Alt+0232, Option+`, then E on the U.S. layout, and è as a special character in HTML. It is the è of Italian caffè.

How do you type e with a line over it?

The letter is ē, e with a macron, U+0113. It has no Alt code in either table, so copy it or write ē in HTML. Some programs read Alt+275, its code point as a plain number, as ē.

How do you type e with a tilde?

ẽ is U+1EBD and its capital Ẽ is U+1EBC. Neither has an Alt code or a named HTML code, and on the U.S. Option layer the tilde of Option+N goes on a, n and o only. Copy the letter, or write ẽ.

What is the e with dots over it called?

E with diaeresis, in Unicode's words: ë, U+00EB, Alt+137 or Alt+0235. Dutch writes it where the e is said apart from the vowel before it, as in knieën. One dot over an e is another letter, the Lithuanian ė.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case. The rows are every character of that file whose decomposition, followed to its end, begins with the letter e or E: 50 letters. Other names of a mark (hat, hacek, long, short, nasal hook), what a mark is used for and the languages a note names follow NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), as do the headings the letters are filed under; the version a letter was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt). Alt codes are from the code page 437 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/PC/CP437.TXT) and the code page 1252 table (https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP1252.TXT); a letter in neither has no Alt code here.

Option keys are those of the U.S. keyboard layout as CLDR records it, its accent keys included (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/release-42/keyboards/osx/en-t-k0-osx.xml); other layouts differ.
