Keyman (http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/) is a keyboard remapper that is commonly used to enter Unicode text. If you routinely work with a single language/ script, then mapping keys (including modified keys, such as control keys) to particular Unicode characters is probably a more convenient way than the ALT+NNN method.

(I have no connection to Tavultesoft, the maker of Keyman, other than having used their product a few times.)
