Are you sure you're viewing them in a console which is capable of
handling the necessary glyphs? (konsole, from KDE, certainly is, but I
can't speak to much else.)
There are two obvious ways --
One is to use the 'Multi_key' feature of X11 and compose the characters
-- this is a handy thing to map the keyboard "Windows" keys to -- as
Multi_key + char + char; to get e accent aigue, I would type Windows + e
+ '.
The other is to use the Unicode character picker in Open Office,
(Insert->Special Character) which will certainly give you the right code
point.
