Although I don't quite understand what you mean, I think Alt Gr+c -> ¢, Alt
Gr+C -> ©, Alt Gr+R -> ® ... are also easy to memorize. Only the yen symbol
is a little bit of, because on my german keyboard the z is located where the
y is on american keyboards.
PS: PLEASE set a reply-to header to the mailing list. It's such a nuissance
to always change the recipient if you simply forgot to hit the right key.
And even if you hit the right key, without editing my MUA will send out two
mails, where one is most of the time enough.
Thanks.
