This is a font problem, I think. It should be solved, as a side effect,
if you do what follows.

Do not use the 0x0080 charset (Latin 1 supplement) of the character
tool, use the 0x0000 charset (Basic Latin). The characters you need are
really there.

Now a more pratical solution:
[System solution] Use the compose key supported by your system.
For example, on Linux, I can enter French ? (é or é) on a US
keyboard by typing Left_Ctrl+e+'.
On Windows, to my knowledge, it is Alt+number_sequence_on_the_keypad
(Alt+0233?).
[XXE solution] [1] Create a file called defaultbindings.xxe using a text
editor (see attachment).
[2] Add it where XXE can find it, for example, on Win2K, C:\Document and
Settings\<user>\xxe2\config\defaultbindings.xxe.
[3] This file should contain ``hot keys'' definitions such as:
<binding>
<keyPressed code="F5" />
<command name="insertString" parameter="Å" />
</binding>
All this is detailed in the Power User's Guide.
