é is used commonly in names and some words that don't feel foreign. For example the word for idea is written idé. Seems like it's an old loan from greek.

The accent gives away that this is in fact a loan from French

I guess it's time to learn to use some real swedish words then and not the foreign ones. Bye idé, hello hugskott. (Hug/håg = mind, skott = shot)
