[erlang-questions] correct terminology for referring to strings

[CGS]

Actually, that depends on the environment you are working in, I suppose.
Testing in my local environment, I got this:

1> io:format("~ts~n",[[16#00E9]]).
é
ok
2> io:format("~ts~n",[[16#0065,16#0301]]).
e ́
ok
3> io:format("~ts~n",[[16#0301,16#0065]]).
 ́e
ok
