You might want to check the Keyboard language options. Go to Control Panel /
Classic View and select Regional and Language Options. Click the Keyboard
and Languages Tab / Change Keyboards button.
Make sure that your local language keyboard is selected there. If you have
other keyboard languages set there, click the 'Advanced Key Settings' to see
what keyboard shortcut changes the keyboard language. The keyboard shortcut
for this may conflict with a keyboard shortcut in the programs where you are
seeing this behavior.
If you do not use any other language for the keyboard input, remove all of
the other keyboard languages there.
Check which keyboards you have installed
Control Panel > Regional and language options > Keyboards and languages >
Change keyboards
A number of languages use an é, so it may not be a Spanish keyboard that is
the culprit.
If you are in Canada and selected Canadian English, you will find despite
calling it English, Microsoft decided that all of us in Canada speak French!
The Canadian English selection has accented "e"s for both the apostrophe and
forward slash keys (accent grave and accent aigue in French; don't remember
which was which) so you will have to change to American English to get rid
of them.
I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to add that for me, I needed to remove the other (non-US) languages from my keyboard settings altogether. As long as "En (Canada)" appears on the list, I eventually began typing "é" whenever I hit the "/" key.
OK guys I figured it out. On your tool bar click on page down, scroll down to
encoding, then click on unicode utf-8 and your done. I hope this helps. It
took me a while to figure out. Good Luck
If you dont see utf-8 click on the more button, scroll down the list intil
you see utf-8 click on it and your done
