Do you mean the actual รจ (e grave) character, or the TeX sequence \`e? If
the former, you need to open the file using File->Open and choose the
correct encoding.

In BibTeX, you should generally use {\`e} instead of \`{e}, but that's
beside the point :). You can change encoding of .ris files using iconv in
Terminal, or open the files in a text editor and resave with a different
encoding.
