In case anybody was wondering:
1. The first "é" is an "e" followed by a combining acute accent.
2. The second "é" is a single code point for a lowercase-e-with-acute.
3. The third "é" is the same as the second "é", but with a zero-width non-breaking space in front of it.
All of these are, of course, the same letter.
