> Type accented characters like é? Only with charmap.exe The way I did this back in elementary school was by memorizing Alt codes. é was Alt+0233. I remember one of the schools I went to had little placards taped under the monitors with an Alt-code reference. If you're like me and have keyboards without a number pad, this isn't an option and you're stuck with charmap.exe. These days you can use the US International keyboard map and use the grave or apostrophe key before hitting a vowel. Much more intuitive. Annoying when you want to type something like "c'est", however. You have to press Space after ' so it doesn't accent the e. macOS is much more elegant.
