1. ASCII-Code.com, a site I think I’ve used since EE college.
    
   Find the character you want, either manually or CTRL+F, then look at the decimal (DEC) code. You’ll need a FOUR-character input string, adding zeroes onto the front to take up any ‘missing’ of the four. For example, let’s say you want the per-mille symbol, ‰, whose code is 137. You need four characters for input, so it’d become ‘0137’. Simply hold down the ALT key, then type 0137, and then let go: your symbol should appear.
    
2. The Unicode charts – this is essentially a ‘standardized’ set of input characters and codes, created by an international “non-profit” consortium. Every time you see new emoji or goofy characters, blame these guys. lol jk But seriously, although it’s VERY interesting from a sociological & human-vs-technology point-of-view, it can be extremely time-consuming to comb though these charts, unless you know exactly what you’re looking for, OR you have extraordinarily good search & organization skills.
    
3. Just plain old Google DuckDuckGo. Type in whatever you want, click on one of the results, and simply copy-paste from a line of plaintext at the page you land on. This is probably the fastest way to do it, unless you need a truly unique or obscure symbol.
