On my Sigil preferences, I chose French language. There are no particular keyboard preferences I can see.
I generally open a blank word processor document, insert the character I want, and then copypasta it into the plain text document I'm writing in something like notepad. Or just use the character map, depending on whether one's available or not. Kubuntu noticeably lacks one.

Another thing I've done is make a scrap file and have special characters that I know I'm going to use in it. For example, if Nyx �� is going to be kicking around a story (that's �� as in Log Natural �� ), I'm going to have it where I can get to it quickly. Ditto for Nyx ∏.

The scrap file is also good for bloopers, outtakes, and stuff so good you want to use it later but don't know exactly where you'll put it.

Edit: That was supposed to be an italic e in there. Guess I should run that unicode test card thru the MR board to see what works and what doesn't? /sweatdrop
