displaying french characters

Hi,
Wonder if anyone can help, I'm trying to use letters ë and é on an English version zen cart but can't get them to display correctly. Do I need to change something to recognise these letters or is there a code similar to &amp for displaying the & symbol that I should be using?
Thanks
