umbulant symbol over an E using Mac
In need to type the name Zoe with an umbulant symbol over the "e". I use a mac so the windows code on the number pad doesn't apply.
I need to be able to type this in a document and also on a website. So if there is a different way using html I need to know that too.

I believe that is the way you would do it on Windows. A Mac doesn't have an alt key.

Sorry... I submitted before I finished my comment.... This works on Windows but when I do the option+u e on the mac it does the umlaut but doesn't type the e under it.

In advance of your second question, here's how to do it in HTML:
In HTML, to create umlaut accent marks type the & (ampersand symbol) then the letter (A, e, etc.), then the letters uml, then ; (semicolon) such as:
& euml; for ë
& Uuml; for Ü
(with no space after &)
I would first try copy and paste to see if that works, and if it doesn't, then i would try the instructions above.

é é é option+e e Alt+0233 lowercase e, acute accent
ê ê ê option+i e Alt+0234 lowercase e, circumflex accent
ë ë ë option+u e Alt+0235 lowercase e, umlaut
is that what you needed? the umlaut one?
