Sigil's
Insert > Special Character window only has a handful of special characters in there. (I believe it's every named HTML 2.0 Entity?)
Calibre Editor's
Edit > Insert Special Character... is absolutely fantastic.
It displays all Unicode characters by category, and even lets you search:
Absolutely amazing, and beats the pants off of most paid/professional programs too!
LibreOffice's
Insert > Special Character is pretty great too, but it only searches characters within the selected font (so Symbola is a good choice there):
Microsoft Word's
Insert > Symbol is
absolute crap:
BabelMap also lets you search:
and the great thing about BabelMap is you can
Fonts > Font Coverage and show
exactly which fonts on your computer have those obscure symbols.

That works too.
Or clips to insert the numerical codes, then
Tools > Reformat > Mend and Prettify HTML Files, and Sigil will convert all those numericals into the actual character (like the gibbous example I gave above).
