Depending how often you need them, it may be quicker/easier to just fire
up the Character Map application (should come as default in all Windows
versions) where you can find the specific character and copy it over.

If you have a numeric keypad, there's the infamous ALT-sequence ones,
which are cryptic, but if you use one particular small set of chars very
often, you build up muscle memory for them (e.g. ALT+0133 for the
ellipsis character …). press ALT, keep it pressed, and type in the
number sequence on the keypad (make sure NumLock is on).
