I also recommend to (learn to) use the Compose key. I have configured my 
CapsLock key as Compose key and use it for the German umlauts and other 
special characters together with the programmer-friendly English keyboard 
layout since ages. Many compose combinations are more or less intuitive as the 
examples above show and it's often easy to guess the combination for a new 
character.
