Or you could memorise the ascii codes and type e.g. alt+[keypad] 0248 => ø.

Edit: Is that what GP Bjelkeman meant by "option key combos"?

On macos you can press <Option-u> followed by a vowel and you will get the corresponding Umlaut. (üäö) Additionally there are other combinations for accents and stuff like that.
