First, you can always type accents in emacs with iso-transl: (require 'iso-transl) (define-key iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map "E" [342604]) ; bind ¤ Then type C-x 8 C-h to see the map for example: C-x 8 ' e -> é C-x 8 ` e -> è C-x 8 ^ e -> ê C-x 8 " e -> ë C-x 8 E -> ¤ Next, I don't use a keyboard with dead keys, but I'd guess that processing them depend on the language environment, or perhaps more precisely on the input method.
