é is pushing Shift+Ctrl+U and then typing e9 followed by a space or
return/enter.
hex e9 is decimal 233

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89#Key_strokes Alt+n...
seemingly is a Windows thingy.

The Wiki doesn't mention Linux, however, for Linux use Shift+Ctrl+U and
after that type the hex unicode.
