Easy on a Mac. Just press the base letter for a few seconds, and a small pop up will appear and you enter the number (one digit) corresponding to the variant you want. On iOS it’s similar but even easier. Short press, then drag you finger to the variant. Õōøœóòöô. Way easier than alt codes on windows. I do a bit of work in music engraving software and you run into needing to type things like dètaché.

You and I know this. Your average person on the street doesn’t though.

  I figure a good chunk of HN doesn't. That's why I explained it.

    Ah fair, I thought you were suggesting that typing the official name was no big deal, rather than just suggesting something helpful for macOS/iOS users.
