I wonder if the original poster is aware of the availability and use of the
Compose key? Linux has available the ability to make some key on the keyboard
a Compose key. Then when you need a special character, like ö or ñ or µ or €
you can get it without looking up the code--most of the sequences are pretty
obvious.

It is true that there are many symbols in Unicode that the Compose sequence
can't generate, but they are not common to a speaker of English or most
European languages.
