Edited by VC, Eng, Doug Collins, mango and 4 others
Hi, my name is Doug and you are watching VisiHow. Today I am going to show you a problem that has happened to me several times and I have figured out how to solve the problem. It happens when I am typing a word like "Hello?" and instead a crazy E symbol will appear like this: "Helloè". This article will show you how to get rid of the weird E characters either temporarily or permanently depending on your preference.

How do I type a backslash? I am adding some more irrelevant information here also in the hopes that the question is now long enough to ask?
I was sold this absolutely horrible keyboard and can't type a backslash. I am doing forms online and need the backslash. I would love to get rid of this keyboard entirely also. Your article talks about question marks. That is not my problem. I cannot find a way to type a backslash, either on the question mark key or on the # symbol.
I have tried to go to the control panel and change the settings but my settings are not the same as the instructions.
All I want to do is type a backslash.
I have been online for close to an hour trying to type a backslash.

It's only happening in Outlook and the control shift isn't helping?
? vs E with an accent. I am getting an accented E rather than a ? in Outlook when I am typing up emails. I can't find the US keyboard icon on the bottom of my screen and I am in Outlook not notebook. When I try the control shift it doesn't work. I opened Word and it seems fine.
