I live in the UK but grew up with Australian keyboard layouts and do exactl=
y as you suggest and just use those characters.

At work I end up using insert character a lot because I have a Kinesis keyb=
oard and the ALT-number-number-number shortcuts aren't practical to use on =
it.  Failing, that it might be time to figure out how to create a keyboard =
code page yourself or work around the problem by installing some kind of ut=
ility to help you type the characters you're looking for easier.
