⌥e e - é

⌥u e - ë

⌥I e - ê

⌥` e - è

⌥n n - ñ

In windows, you can use the UK extended keyboard to get similar features

You use Alt-Gr rather than ⌥.

For ë you would use " rather than u

For ñ you would use ~ rather than n

For ê you would use ^ rather than i

For é you would use ' rather than e. You can also do Alt-Gr e, and that applies to the standard UK layout as well as the extended layout, as there are some English words that require it such as exposé which is not the same as expose and some where it is an alternative correct spelling such as café.
