-- Words from French use a mark called an acute accentover an E to indicate it has an A (ay) sound, which is the French sound of the pair "et." This letter is found in words such as cliché, passé, sauté and résumé (where it shows the word is not the verb resume).

-- Words in Spanish use the acute E (é) to indicate an E that is pronounced separately, but it has the same sound as E does normally. In Spanish this is called a tilde, whereas in English the term is applied to the mark used over an n (ñ).

This accented or acute E (é) is found on the Character Map in Windows, and can also be created by holding down the ALT key and pressing 0233 (uppercase is ALT +0201).
