Something amazing :) See yourself :

(kbd "é")-->[233]
(kbd "è")-->[232]

Okay, but read this :

(read-key-sequence ""), and typing "é" ---> [3945]
(read-key-sequence ""), and typing "è" ---> [3944]

It seems this is (kbd %c) + 3712. Why 3712.

So, if I do emacs (with X), it works :
(global-set-key [3945] (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e acute")))
(global-set-key [3944] (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e grave")))

Amazing, isn't it ?

If i do this in emacs -nw, it works (unless i put keyboard-coding-system 
to iso-latin-1 or latin-1) :
(global-set-key [233] (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e acute")))
(global-set-key [232] (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e grave")))
or
(global-set-key (kbd "é") (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e acute")))
(global-set-key (kbd "è") (lambda()(interactive)(insert "e grave")))

If i do this in emacs (*true* console mode), it works too.
