The one thing that changed my computer life as a
French speaker trying to type ÉÀŒÇ is a Compose key.
The concept is simple: press Compose, then some
sequence of characters that is recognized as an input
method for a special character. This is much easier
to remember than Unicode code points. Examples:

Compose < "    →    “
Compose > "    →    ”
Compose - >    →    →
Compose = e    →    €
Compose o c    →    ©
Compose / =    →    ≠
Compose / o    →    ø
Compose ' e    →    é
Compose o e    →    œ
Compose o A    →    Å
Compose ~ n    →    ñ
Compose , C    →    Ç
Compose - :    →    ÷
Compose < <    →    «
Compose > >    →    »
Compose space space → non-breakable space

How to configure it depends on your system. In my
experience, it is an extraordinary time saver.
Enjoy <Compose : )>
