If I need a special character, I find a web page or document that has it and use copy/paste.

I have an A4 pinned next to me with all the windows Alt codes. Old-school methods are fastest and I subconsciously learn them by heart over the years.
Nice idea. I don't need them often enough to bother. Do you have a source for the chart?

Yeah. Can't count how many times I've just googled "yen" or "e with accent" because I can't remember the shortcut.

Even then the character pallete built into MacOS is much more convenient for searching, saving, and inputting.
The character palette built into Windows uses too small a font, I find it almost useless. And the size is not adjustable. I've been tempted on more than one occasion to write my own.
