As Matthias pointed out, this is a system-wide setting and not really
anything to do with Evolution.
As well as the Ctrl-Shift-U-x-x-x-x trick that André mentioned, you may
also get a lot of other characters more easily.
For example with the standard UK keymap, I get 'dead-key' accents with
the right Alt key (AltGr) and the ;'#[]=/ keys for éêèëẽȩẹ accents ‒ so
to type André's name it's AltGr-; followed by e.
There are also a number of interesting characters available just by
using right-alt with number and letter keys, both with and without
shift:
qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm1234567890-̣̣.
