What accent over the e creates ee sound?

The accent over the "e" that creates the "ee" sound is called a circumflex. It looks like this: ^.

Here are some examples of words that use the circumflex to create the "ee" sound:

* Crêpe: pronounced "krehp"

* Fête: pronounced "feht"

* Résumé: pronounced "rez-oo-may"

* Châtelet: pronounced "sha-tleh"

It's important to note that the circumflex is not the only way to create the "ee" sound in French. Sometimes, a combination of letters, like "ei," can also produce this sound.
