Microsoft Word does have compose, sort of(?). control+apostrophe followed by e results in é, for instance. I have no idea why it isn’t OS wide. It works some other places, but not all.

Windows most everywhere: Hold ALT while typing the Extended ASCII number for a character on the numpad (not the row of numbers above the letters) results in that char. For é: Hold Alt while typing 130 on numpad. TIL, apparently this can be extended to unicode too. https://superuser.com/questions/1024948/windows-10-alt-code-results-in-wrong-character https://superuser.com/questions/1024948/windows-10-alt-code-...

  Yes, but learning numbers isn't realy comparable to be able to just guess the compose buttons. o¨ makes ö, ao makes å. If you want the copyright sign you type o+c.

    True. Different compromises on capability vs usability.
