Here at Emory Univ, we have recently installed app pack 2 so we are at
6.2.2, latest build. We still have the problem. We have not found a
solution that allows one to just type a keyboard shortcut to create an
accented letter that will "stick" in Bb. E.g. if you type Option+E,then
e to get an "e" with accent aigu, it may display properly for a while
and then be suddenly replaced by some other character, such as a
questionmark. We have found that the only solution for this is to type
accented letters by typing their html equivalents: e.g &eacute;

Here's a table (there are many):

I will investigate more with our Blackboard server support.
