Need to get an 'e' with a small dash on top.Accents for alphabets

[nalini]

Hi,
There are some alphabets which sound different when pronounced than they actually should.So we can identify them by adding a dot on it top or a small tilde on its top or a dot in the bottom.They are probably accents added.In MS Word,we can insert object.
Similarly is there any way in which we can make this possible?
These kind of alphabets with accents are very common in other language like Sanskrit for example.
Please help me as fats as possible and let me know if there is a way in this?
Thanx in advance...
waiting for a reply

Are you speaking of accented characters such as é, ê, è, ç, etc.? If you're on the Windows operating system, type ''0232'' for è for example. Look in the back of your Windows or word processing manual for more alternative characters.

Character Map, a component of Windows, is a very useful tool. I have a shortcut to it in my Start Menu because I use it two or three times a week. By now, I've got some of the more common ones memorized, like ® (Alt-0174), ™ (Alt-0153), and • (Alt-0149). I always use the Character Map to look up the code and type that in instead of selecting it, copying it and pasting it into my program. I highly recommend that if you don't have Character Map installed, do so ASAP. I'm sure the Macs have a similar feature.

Thanks for your help.
