I would recommend Org-mode with export to LaTeX and PDF.  You can create
OpenDocument text or create HTML for posting to a blog.

You can do a

   M-x set-input-method TeX

then typing the string on the first column will give you the characters
on the second column

    | what to type | what you get |
    |--------------+--------------|
    | \degree      | °            |
    | \copyright   | ©            |
    | ^{TM}        | ™            |
    | \registered  | ®            |
    | ---          | —            |
    | --           | –            |


To check what to type, do

   C-u C-x =

on a character inserted with C-x 8 C-m and look for the following line
in the *Help* buffer

  to input: type "--" with TeX input method

Ofcourse you can conjure up your own abbrevs and not go with above
system provided defaults.
