Can't say specifically, but you're sure to lose some either way. So
go both ways on everything. Make your main page "é", and a secondary
page with "e". Put both versions in your META keywords. And put both
versions in the body.

Poor spelling doesn't look that great, so I try to hide it
away in phrases or boilerplate where only the retired English
teachers will notice.
