I've looked at what you've started, and it's interesting.  Still it 
seems like the sort of thing that may be more suited to Wiktionary than 
Wikipedia.

There are several ways to go about this, but what works for me on the 
characters in ISO 8859-1 is the following that always use the numbers 
from the numeric keypad, and always include the leading "0".

For è use Alt + 0232
For é use Alt + 0233
For ê use Alt + 0234
For ë use Alt + 0235
The coresponding capitals use numbers that are 32 less.
