There are *many* ways to enter non-ASCII characters, so you'll have to
give us more details as to what you consider "easy".

Some of the ways to do that are specific to Emacs (e.g. C-u C-\
latin-1-postfix), while others depend on the keyboard layout you use,
the ways you normally enter those non-ASCII chars, and the way modifiers
are mapped in Emacs.

Personally under X11, I like to use the "compose" key (aka "Multi_key"),
so I can hit "compose ' e" to get a "é" and "compose . ." to get a "…".
