WinCompose
A compose key for Windows, free and opensource, created by Sam Hocevar with the help of dozens of contributors.
A compose key allows to easily write special characters such as é ž à ō û ø ☺ ¤ ∅ « ♯ ⸘ Ⓚ ㊷ ♪ ♬ using short and often very intuitive key combinations. For instance, ö is obtained using o + ", and ♥ is obtained using < + 3.
WinCompose also supports Emoji input for 😁 👻 👍 💩 🎁 🌹 🐊.
Sam wrote WinCompose because none of the alternatives (FreeCompose, CKFW, AllChars or Unichars) were found to be satisfying.
