This is an Emacs list and you are asking how to enter characters in Emacs, but I feel this is better solved at the system level (and I actually believe there is a system outside Emacs) so that you can enter these characters in other programs. * If you are running Emacs on X11, you can hack your XKB configuration to put frequently-needed characters on Level3 (which is an alternate shift state often configured to activate on right Alt or another modifier key of your choice). You might even find an existing symbols map that has characters you need. * On Windows, the equivalent is the MSKLC tool. * I believe there is an analogous tool on Mac, too.
