Did you check the Character Table application in the accessories?

Thank you François. This solves part of my problem. Is there a way that I can enter these special characters on the fly without opening the Character Table? Can I use a key sequence for a specific character?

Very good question Hendre, I have no idea. Probably not with the default Ubuntu, but maybe there are softwares to do that ? Maybe you can add another question here, someone may know better than me.
