On Windows, you can open the emoji picker with Win+. or Win+, (depending on locale iirc). Then just switch to the symbols tab by clicking the omega symbol and chose å

Alternatively, you can install PowerToys, which includes a quick accentuator tool.

    Failing that win+r and type charmap. You can browse symbols there.

    charmap.exe? Holy shit. Windows 95 called, but I didn't have a 33.6k modem ready to answer.

    I mostly just had the alt+whatever codes memorized when I was typing French or German, but I didn't always have a numpad when I was using laptops away from home. I just ended up using charmap and never realized newer windows had any replacement (although I'm on mac for work and also use linux for both work and some home stuff now as well so not spending as much time in Windows).
