Can it be that you too are confused about the difference of an event
and a character representation? I think your keyboard does not deliver
glyphs or characters, it's just an event that has to be transformed
into some other property. So your both global-set-key's are distinct.
If you want to know a character's representation, position the cursor
on it and type C-u C-x =.
For me (kbd "é") is 2281 ...
