You may need to occasionally insert special keyboard characters into a Word document, email, or some other application like Á ä ã ⅛ ₤ ©.  If so, then this tip is for you!

The Windows Key + Period Key will pop up a window with all the special characters you are probably looking for (including emoji’s). It may take you a minute to find the one you actually want.

Once you have located it and inserted into your document – you can easily find it again by clicking the ‘most recently used’ symbol at the bottom of the pop-up window.
