E with accent letters include è with a grave accent, é with an acute accent, ê with a circumflex and ë with a diaeresis or umlaut. Tap any accented E below to copy it, in lowercase or uppercase.
To type accented e rather than copy it, use the ALT code beside each character: Alt+0233 gives é, Alt+0201 gives É. Every accented E here also carries its Unicode point, decimal value, hexadecimal value and HTML entity.

Accented E Copy and Paste With ALT Code List
Every accented E letter with its ALT code, split into lowercase and uppercase so you can go straight to the form you need. Tap a tile to copy that character to your clipboard, then paste it with Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac.
A leading zero matters more than it looks: Alt+0233 and its siblings address the Windows ANSI set and behave the same in every application, while the same number without that zero is read against the old DOS code page and can return a different symbol. Anything past 255 is a raw Unicode decimal, and if one of those gives you a black block, use the hexadecimal method below instead.

How to Type Accented e Using ALT Code?
E is one of the few letters whose common accented forms sit inside the Windows ANSI character set, so the four-digit codes beginning with a zero cover most of what you will actually need: Alt+0232 for è, Alt+0233 for é, Alt+0234 for ê, Alt+0235 for ë, Alt+0200 for È, Alt+0201 for É. The accented E characters are drawn from Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Latin Extended Additional and Latin Extended-C, which is what determines whether a plain ALT code can reach them. The remaining 45 accented E characters run past code point 255, up to ⱸ at U+2C78, and those need the hexadecimal method instead. In everyday writing the accented E people actually reach for is è, used in French, Italian, Portuguese, and its code is Alt+0232. TYPE 1 handles the first group, TYPE 2 handles everything.
TYPE 1 – How to use ALT codes on a keyboard with and without a dedicated numeric keypad?
The 8 ANSI codes for E behave identically in Word, Outlook, browsers, Notepad and almost anything else that accepts typing, which is what makes them worth memorising if you use one or two of them daily.
Windows reads the number from the numeric keypad only, never from the digit row above the letters. Full keypad and Num Lock instructions are on the main typing guide.
1Put the cursor where the é belongs.
2Hold ALT down for the whole sequence.
3Tap 0233 on the keypad. Nothing shows on screen yet.
4Release ALT and the é appears.
When the result is a black box: A black box means the program mapped your number against its own legacy code page rather than Unicode and found nothing there. For E that happens only with the extended characters, never with the ANSI ones above.
TYPE 2 – How to type letters and symbols using ALT codes with the help of hexadecimal code?
Past Alt+0255 the decimal codes stop being dependable, and for E that covers the majority of the set: 45 characters including the Latin Extended forms and, at the far end, ⱸ.
Unicode is written U+nnnn and the bare hexadecimal is the nnnn part, so U+00E9 and 00E9 both point at é. Any value from the technical section below works the same way.
1Open a Word or Outlook document. The shortcut is an Office feature.
2Type 00E9 on the ordinary keys. No keypad needed.
3With the cursor right after it, hold ALT and press X.
4Release both. The code becomes é, and the same keys turn it back.
Other ways to type E with Accent
Mac Option key combinations
•Option+e then e gives é
•Option+` then e gives è
•Option+i then e gives ê
•Option+u then e gives ë
Microsoft Word and Outlook shortcuts
•Ctrl+’ then e gives é
•Ctrl+` then e gives è
•Ctrl+Shift+^ then e gives ê
•Ctrl+Shift+: then e gives ë
Hold Shift with the final letter for the capital form.
iPhone, Android and tablets
Press and hold the e key on the on-screen keyboard. The row that appears offers è é ê ë ē ĕ ė and similar, and you slide onto the one you want before lifting.
The row offers only the forms your installed keyboard languages cover, so adding a second language in keyboard settings widens what is on offer for e.
HTML, CSS and JavaScript
HTML: paste the character directly on a UTF-8 page, or use é or é.
CSS: content:”\\00E9″
JavaScript and Java: “\\u00E9”
Python: “\\u00e9”
Accent E Technical Information: Unicode, HTML, CSS and JavaScript Codes
Technical information for every accented E letter: Unicode code point, HTML hexadecimal entity, HTML decimal entity, ALT code, CSS escape, and the escape used in JavaScript, Java and C. These are the values you need when the character cannot travel as a pasted glyph, inside a CSS content property, a minified string, a config file with an uncertain encoding, or a database column still set to latin1.

Accented E FAQ: ALT Codes, Copy Paste and Unicode
How do I type e with an accent?
On Windows, hold ALT and type the code on the numeric keypad: Alt+0232 for è, Alt+0233 for é, Alt+0234 for ê. On a Mac, Option+e followed by e gives é. On a phone, press and hold the e key and slide onto the variant you want. Or tap any character on this page to copy it.
What is the ALT code for é?
Alt+0233. Hold ALT, type the digits on the numeric keypad, then release ALT. The number row above the letters will not work. The capital É is Alt+0201, a different code entirely.
What is the difference between é and è?
The marks lean in opposite directions and mean different things. The acute on é generally marks stress or a long vowel, as in Spanish, Czech and Hungarian. The grave on è marks a lower pitch or a more open vowel and appears mostly in French, Italian and Catalan. They are not interchangeable, and swapping one for the other is a spelling error.
Which languages use E with an accent?
French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are the main ones, and the full breakdown with the exact characters each language needs is further up this page. Most writers only ever need four or five of the characters listed here.
Why does an accented E show as an empty box?
The character is correct but the font in use does not contain that glyph, so your device shows a placeholder instead. This happens most often with the rarer forms of E. Switch to a font with wide Latin coverage such as Arial, Calibri, Charis SIL or Noto Serif and the letter will display properly. Nothing is wrong with the text itself, and it will paste correctly elsewhere.
Should I use a precomposed accented E or a combining mark?
Use the precomposed character, which is what every entry on this page is. A plain e followed by a separate combining mark looks identical on screen but counts as two characters, which breaks search, sorting and spell check, and creates duplicate records in databases and forms.
