For unusual characters, googling some sort of vague description and then copy-pasting from one of the first 5 results often works, e.g. ‘e accent’ or (as a purely contrived example) an eth (ð).

Ubuntu does the same with the Italian keyboard, only it’s AltGr and , (comma) for the acute accent (which I use when I need one on a vowel other than E in languages other than Italian). I think it can be made to do the same with a US keyboard (where the right Alt becomes the AltGr).
Maybe if there are enough people of color who’ve grown up in Denmark, then Danish is no longer a white ethnicity.

I copy the character from a character map.
