Totally off topic: when using ALT+ to insert foreign characters when posting here using Chrome, one seems to need to add a leading zero to the ANSI character; so ALT + 232 gives Þ whereas ALT + 0232 gives the required è. I did not know that and it caused me to spend extra time working it out, during which time I am told I had promised to empty the dishwasher.

Forgive me, Fathers of l'Académie Française , for I have sinned. I repent, and have started the self-flagellation to reveal my penitential mind

Back OT, it seems you spent valuable dishwasher emptying time on searching for means of adding a "required è". On their website it's certainly spelled with an é.

So, we'll meet in Purgatory, n'est ce pas?

Addendum: just before posting I found a more easy way of adding french letters with accents here

Edit: Sorry for not replying sooner, it's hard to type when busy with the whip. @orbitmic beat me to the comment on accents
