instead of directly typing the character, you can use an escape-sequence.
so, for deja vu (with accents), you'w write
d\'ej\`a vu
(like this, you can place any accent on virtually any letter,
eg. \^e for fenetre or \~n for spanish :) )
it may not be that convenient to type, but it's a bit more portable
and does not depend on the font or terminal you're using.
