These "diacritical" marks come from the French, so first you'll have to spell them the way the French spell them, not the way they pronounce them.

Your aigu is actually acute. As in per sé.

You write p e r s & e acute ;

per sé

.

Next, grave is okay, just write r & e grave ; s u m & e acute ;

Rèsumé

Okay?
