And this reminded me about "compose key":
• It is key that present on some keyboards.
• On Linux it is possible to assign some of regular keys to be compose key (if you do not have one already), and probably also on Mac (check needed).
What it does:
When you press it, next few key-presses (usually 2) will be composed into one character.
For example:
» Compose Key -> a -> e = æ
» Compose Key -> 1 -> 2 = ½
» Compose Key -> o -> o = °
» Compose Key -> > -> > = »
Most of the compositions are intuitive, for less intuitive ones there are lists on the internet.
