In Windoze I always use Alt-xxx or Alt-0xxx (there are two systems - typical MS) [that's hold down Alt key while typing the digits on the numpad, with the numlock on]. Once you know the codes (they are mainly ASCII for the Alt-xxx series), it's a piece of cake. Two I always remember are degree (Alt248 ¡) and e acute (used to work for French company, Alt130 ), and the old hash # comes up at as Alt035 - also known as a pound in some parts of the world.
