Phew, what a palaver! And it's a different menu in Word, Excel, etc. I have to take my hand away from my keyboard, go to the mouse, in Safari go to Edit, then Special Characters, then go through the various lists to find the character I need, then use the mouse to click Insert. (And I only had to learn about 10 codes and that was Spanish covered!) But in Apple it seems incredibly more cumbersome. When I was typing in Spanish on my PC and wanted to use á or ñ, for example, all I had to do was hold down the Alt key and type either 0225 or 0241 and immediately those characters dropped into place in whatever application I was using. Already I am missing many of the features you can get on Windows, one of which seems to be the use of ASCII codes. Before switching to Apple Mac, I was a PC/Windows user virtually since its inception.
