On my PC (which is configured for U.S. International), all I have to do is enter a tilde (~) then an a: �.
If I enter anything other than a, A, o, O, n or N after the tilde, I get the tilde followed by the other character. If I want an isolated tilde, I enter it and then press the space bar. If I want a space to follow, I press the space bar again. ������~ The same principle applies to grave, circumflex and acute accents, plus the umlaut (dieresis) and cedilla.

Don't ask me how it works, rather tell me if you receive it properly. Louis
