WinCompose allows the insertion of special characters such as é ž à Û ø ¤ « ¿ ® ™ using short and often very intuitive key combinations. For instance, ö is obtained using o + " and ™ is obtained using T + M.
The program is based on the well known Unix compose key and WinCompose ships with more than 2,000 compose rules.
Note: Versions 0.7.0 and up require the .NET Framework. Download link for the last non-.NET version is at v0.6.13 (direct download)

i like it but i wish it was easier to search for say symbols like dollar signs, ampersands etc and keep all the alphabet letter variations separate. Also, should be able to have a "favorites" tab that the user adds the best ones to.

@ samhocevar: Excellent software! The honor goes to you as the author ... voted by me with 5 points.
But: It was first introduced my user "Midas" ( see: http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21463 ) ... so I changed the "Suggested by" to: "Midas".
v0.6.9
webfork yes I did thank some time before I posted this, its not something I do often but this App really helped me and made it very easy to do what I was trying to do. Before using WinCompose it was a real nightmare to do things I wanted and most often I failed. So once again thanks for the hard work on this great useful software. ^5
