That depends a great deal upon your operating system and application. There still seem to be very few systems which deal properly with Unicode non-spacing marks. Certainly, despite good support for the general Unicode repertoire, Windows and general Windows applications don't support them at all. My Linux box does better, but it's still intermittent. However, there are, as John said, quite a number of Unicode symbols which are precomposed sequences including an acute accent. You can enter all of these via the Insert->Symbol dialog in Microsoft Word, where you can also assign them to a shortcut key if you need them frequently: 0106 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH ACUTE 0107 LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE 0139 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH ACUTE 013A LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH ACUTE 0143 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH ACUTE 0144 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH ACUTE 0154 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH ACUTE 0155 LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH ACUTE 015A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH ACUTE 015B LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH ACUTE 0179 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH ACUTE 017A LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH ACUTE 01F4 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH ACUTE 01F5 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH ACUTE 1E30 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH ACUTE 1E31 LATIN SMALL LETTER K WITH ACUTE 1E3E LATIN CAPITAL LETTER M WITH ACUTE 1E3F LATIN SMALL LETTER M WITH ACUTE 1E54 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER P WITH ACUTE 1E55 LATIN SMALL LETTER P WITH ACUTE 1E82 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W WITH ACUTE 1E83 LATIN SMALL LETTER W WITH ACUTE
