Thank, Chris. I found and installed one from here: https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose
My right ALT key now lets me type in all kinds of nonsense like ⑦ and © and ß and ℵ0 and ⅔ and ≠ and ⇒ and ♬and although :- makes ÷ I see := makes ≔ which is just a longer equals sign.
Not sure this mailing list allows this stuff, so if your mailer does not show it, never mind.
Now I have to locate the list of available sequences as the built-in does not show many I want to se and I have already guessed some!
And, yes, as long as the list of additional program symbols is easily available, that should do even on standard keyboards.

It's called Compose key sequences and they're supported by every X11-based system, plus Windows and Mac OS if you set them up.
