Pretty sure you don't. English doesn't really use them a whole lot (only in a few loan words), so they aren't included.
Instead, you would have to manually insert them, either with Alt Codes, which are difficult to remember and annoying to type repeatedly, or using the Character Map, which is even more tedious. Or, yeah, a different keyboard layout. Like, since I'm Canadian, if I switch my keyboard layout to Canadian French from Canadian English, I can put éÉ in easily by just pressing what would normally be /?. Means to type a word like café, I would go...
C A F [CTRL]+[SHIFT] ? [CTRL]+[SHIFT] since [CTRL]+[SHIFT] switches my keyboard between the two. Definitely the best option when compared to opening the character map or trying to remember and type one or two of those awful alt codes.
Only problem is, sometiemes I accidentally switch it and when I ask questions I get an É instead of a ?.
You can see how that'd be annoying, rightÉ
