If you are running Windows, you hold down ALT, type a series of numbers 
on the numpad, and then release ALT to input the specified character.  
For instance, here are the codes for double quotation marks:

ALT+0147 → “ (Left double quotation mark)
ALT+0148 → ” (Right double quotation mark)

There are tables of codes online, but you can also use the Character Map 
(charmap.exe) program.  Find and select a character, and the status bar 
will list its Alt+Numpad code if supported.  Keep a cheat sheet nearby 
with the ones you use most often; though it should not take long before 
muscle memory takes over.  In my work, I type "blessèd" enough that I 
have ALT+0232 memorized.
