Which Deskto Environment are you using? In KDE there's an applet for kicker (the panel) that allows you to put characters such as that with a mouse click. I'm not sure about the alt+numbers though

Well, an awful lot of googling later...

For GTk based applications (Firefox, Gnome, etc), Control + Shift + Keycode does the trick. Can't figure out anything for Qt/KDE yet...
