You need two things:

(1) Install which-key package, then
(2) Press ‘C-x 8’ (then wait for a second)

In step (2) if you press RET instead of waiting then you can enter
UNICODE CHARACTER NAME also.

The characters you have entered are unicode - FRACTION THREE QUARTER,
POUND SIGN, LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE
