Hold down the option key, then type the Unicode hex code of a character to get it.

See http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for that hex codes.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Jesus Christ, which poor guy had to draw all these symbols? Most of these languages I've never even heard of.

You can also get the hex codes easily if you have "Show Character Palette" in your keyboards menu.
