Like in English, é is respected when writing foreign words, mainly from French. In addition, Danish uses é in some loanwords to represent /i/. See Acute accent for a more detailed description.

In Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, the letter 'é' is used to indicate that a terminal syllable with the vowel e is stressed, and it is often used only when it changes the meaning. É is the 9th letter of the Czech alphabet and the 12th letter of the Slovak alphabet and represents /ɛː/. Furthermore, é is respected when writing foreign words, mainly from French and it is used to add visual stress on words in the same way English might use italics. For example: in a sentence that repeats a word (that contains the vowel e) with different meaning or specificity, the e in one of the occurrences could be replaced with é to indicate the different meaning or specificity. In Afrikaans, é is used to differentiate meaning and word types. Some languages use the letter only in specific contexts, such as in Indonesian dictionaries. Certain romanization systems such as pinyin (Standard Chinese) also use é for tone. Languages may use é to indicate a certain sound ( French), stress pattern ( Spanish), length ( Czech) or tone ( Vietnamese), as well as to write loanwords or distinguish identical-sounding words ( Dutch). In English, it is used for loanwords (such as French résumé), romanization (Japanese Pokémon) or occasionally as a pronunciation aid in poetry.
