AltGr+Shift+= is how I do a division sign.

Also, a multiplication sign is AltGr+= ×

Alt-130 is the é used in Pokémon. It was the first one I learned.

The next was Alt-7 • for dot products when I had to type out physics stuff.

Hmm... for some odd reason doing ALT+1 moves me to my first tab. Interesting.

^ Just press the Fn key, then Alt, then the numbers (which should be around the j/k/l/u/i/o/p/7/8/9 area on your keyboard).

The problem with that is you can't enter Unicode characters by their hex code, while they most often are specified as hex codes (you know, the whole "U+1234" thing).

What's Alt Gr?

On a Mac, so I use alt+various keys or, failing that, the character palette. I think alt-codes might work, but I've never been willing to memorize any.
