For those Windows users, I came across a really easy program
called AX <http://vulpeculox.net/ax/> that will let you
insert special characters without thinking. (I didn't write
this application)
For example, in whatever text editor you use you can type
/saculum/ (you don't need the e) and then put your cursor
next to the *a* and push F9 and it will turn it into an *á*
- push F9 again, it turns into an *æ* - again you get *ǽ*.
(you can change the hotkey)
You can also easily insert the ℣ and ℟ by simply putting
your cursor next to a *v* or *r* and pushing F9 (that's how
I entered these characters in this email - which you can see
if you are using html email with the right encoding...).
Here is my config file for AX
<https://gist.github.com/BGMcoder/9f85cd08cf77c5392c48>,
customized for Latin and Chant.
It is great for InDesign and even your code editor - but you
need to be using a unicode font that has those characters
already. /Lucida Sans Unicode/ is good for your code editor.
So, AX comes as an exe file, but you also get the ahk source
if you want to play with the code for it.
