    Fun fact, on Linux using alt-graph you can get alternative symbols FROM EVERY KEY ON THE KEYBOARD. For example on the polish keyboard using alt-graph + shift + H you get •

    Now I don’t remember whether it was under T, but somewhere you should be able to get ™.

    Also by using alt-graph with and without shift on ~ and 6 you should get logical math symbols. Useful for plaintext math notation.

    Usually I don’t remember where what is so I just go ham on the keyboard.

      I wouldn’t encourage anyone to use Windows but if you do then there’s a handy little utility app called WinCompose which does this same function.

      Virtually every symbol you could imagine comes intuitively and it’s customisable if you can copy-paste extremely simple code to make your own command keys for typing a particular symbol, such as where a command isn’t intuitive or you need very obscure symbols like a zero-width space.

        Sometimes you fat finger while typing and instead of a ł you get some other random character. That’s how I found this feature and then I’ve tried like every key.
