Outside or outside it?

Hi. Please help. According to the Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's English Dictionary, the definition for the term "street cafe" or "pavement cafe" (in both terms, the word "cafe" has what looks like an apostrophe above the letter "e") is this:

A street cafe or a pavement cafe is a cafe which has tables and chairs on the pavement outside it where people can eat and drink.

(In the definition, every "cafe" has what looks like an apostrophe above the letter "e," which I don't know how to make with my keyboard.)

Anyway, could we write like these and are they correct, as crude they might be as definitions? I am sorry, as I said before, I don't know how to make the apostrophe-like mark above the letters "e" in the word "cafe." Thank you in advance for your help.

1. A street cafe or a pavement cafe is a cafe which has tables and chairs outside.

2. A street cafe or a pavement cafe is a cafe which has tables and chairs outside it.

3. A street cafe or a pavement cafe is a cafe with tables and chairs outside.

4. A street cafe or a pavement cafe is a cafe with tables and chairs outside it.
