How can I fill the "é" character then?You use the compose key like most the world has been using for a longtime.

Guess why?I am at the Linux console in a server room, and have no any GUI interface at all. Or I am in the ssh client throw my slow phone line, and am trying to operate on a file by some coreutils' utilities. And so one...When some guys will add to Fedora some Japanese- Russian- Greek- etc. -named packages, what you have to do with them? Switch each time between some virtual keyboards? But if your server has no any GUI? Or you want to cause users always add pure GUI to ANY machine?
