AFAIK there are Unicode input codes, alt + dddd where d is digit (0-9). See here: ( http://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?utf8=dec )

I'd try to write custom function to enter symbols I want used keyUp and keyDown (alt down , 3 numbers up-down, gotcha).

Here is code which I use to type "§" character to text editor AkelPad (Windows) 5 times.
_______
#moving mouse out of menu area and clicking
mouseMove(100,100)
click()

# Doing our key sequence (typing character 3 times)
for i in range(0,5):
    keyDown(Key.ALT)
    keyDown(Key.NUM0)
    keyUp(Key.NUM0)
    keyDown(Key.NUM1)
    keyUp(Key.NUM1)
    keyDown(Key.NUM6)
    keyUp(Key.NUM6)
    keyDown(Key.NUM7)
    keyUp(Key.NUM7)
    keyUp(Key.ALT)
________

Try it with your browser (modify code to move to the text field), then look for the code you need for that symbol.
