Does toggling between input methods work for you?

I am not familiar with any of the European languages (other than
English).  For example, with latin-1-alt-postfix as an input method, you
can input the character under question with a".

,----
| Input method: latin-1-postfix (mode line indicator:1<)
| 
| Latin-1 character input method with postfix modifiers
| 
|              | postfix | examples
|  ------------+---------+----------
|   acute      |    '    | a' -> á
|   grave      |    `    | a` -> à
|   circumflex |    ^    | a^ -> â
|   diaeresis  |    "    | a" -> ä
|   tilde      |    ~    | a~ -> ã
|   cedilla    |    ,    | c, -> ç
|   nordic     |    /    | d/ -> ð   t/ -> þ   a/ -> å   e/ -> æ   o/ -> ø
|   others     |    /    | s/ -> ß   ?/ -> ¿   !/ -> ¡   // -> °
|              | various | << -> «   >> -> »   o_ -> º   a_ -> ª
| 
| Doubling the postfix separates the letter and postfix: e.g. a'' -> a'
