You can copy and paste the character from chrmap.exe
Look in Start + All Programs + Accessories.

The è (e grave) can also be entered by typing
Alt + 0232 (using the number keypad)
The é (e acute) can also be entered by typing
Alt + 0233 (using the number keypad)

See the character map for additional characters, and their key code.
