How do I key Esperanto accented letters in KDE?
There have been a number of questions about foreign characters and how
to type them.
The answer is to set up your Compose key. Then Compose plus (usually) a
2 character
combination will produce all the European accented characters and
symbols, as well
as money symbols, some fractions, and a couple of other things.

The combinations are, for the most part, intuitive. Some are just the
same letter
twice, as is the upside-down ? or the ess-tset.
This works in your word processor, your email, and even the CLI.
There's an equivalent for Windows, a freebie called All-Chars, which
also uses a
Compose key, which in both instances, you can choose for yourself. I
like the
right Ctrl key, but if you have a Win keyboard, a lot of folks use the
right Win key.
