WinCompose VS CopyChar

Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that.

Copy/paste doesn't work for you? I use this site (https://copychar.cc/) and am able to paste in any character. It'll adjust to whatever typeface I set it to if it exists for that one. I really only use the dashes and trademarks though. Source: over 2 years ago
