@samwho@hachyderm.io This is great! New bookmark!
My usual approaches, depends on the character I need:
- Google "[character I need name]”, find Wikipedia site, read about the history of typesetting em dashes, rabbit hole into eventually reading about some random topic
- Open word and use the "Symbol" menu (usually if I'm already in word
- Windows key + spacebar to change my keyboard layout to Portuguese, then key combos. Ironically I've never figured out ? in PT so I switch back to EN
- Character map
