You mean, like in "Andúril", "Nazgûl", "Úlairi" etc?
The problem is - they don't seem to work properly on english keyboards. I couldn't do any while I had an english one, but it seems to work for other people here 😕 there are keys for both ^ and ´ but they somehow dont want to be set above the letters 😕
If you have a lot of time on your hands - type the text in MS word or a similar program and add the accented vowels via the "symbol"-function in the menu...
... or you just don't type them. They symbolize the lengthening of letters, so theoretically you could also write "Anduuril", "Nazguul" and "Uulairi" - but that looks damn wrong and "un-elvish" 😬 you could also just ignore them, most people type "Anduril", "Nazgul", "Ulairi" anyways 😉 it's not 100% correct, but everybody will understand it and it still looks nice 😛

or try things like pressing ALT and then try some numbers on the num block (example: ë=Alt-137; íóú=Alt-161, 162, 163...)
yeah

Or, when posting in a forum, you use the Html-codes - those that look like &xxx;
xxx being the verbal description of the letter you want 😛 like, ë is called euml (e+uml. - the shortcut of the german word "Umlaut" which is also used in other languages for the letters with two points over it, like ä and ö), hence & euml; (without the space) is ë;
This accent ´ is called "acute" in french, hence aacute is á, eacute is é etc.
^ is called circ[umflex] -> & ucirc; = û etc
` - which doesnt occur in the elvish languages - is "grave" -> è, à, ....
😉
