"E with diaeresis" in lowercase : Alt + 0 2 3 5 = ë
"E with diaeresis" in uppercase : Alt + 0 2 0 3 = Ë
The technique : You keep the Alt key pressed (key just to the left of the Space bar), then you successively type the numbers 0 2 3 5 for lowercase E with diaeresis (ë) or the numbers 0 2 0 3 for uppercase E with diaeresis (Ë), then you finally release the Alt key, which will bring up the desired letter.
