Using Character Map
You can use Character Map to copy and paste special characters into your

Thanks Martin, but that's an awfully cumbersome way to do it. 
I've used it on occasion for the odd special character here and 
there, but if I'm typing a note (esp. in Russian!) copy and paste 
would be waaaay too slow.
