I'm not sure how much you use the special characters and whether or not the alt+num thing is good for your ends, but if nothing else I suppose people on the site just generally wanting to know how to quick use some of the less common stuff without having to paste it every time might like it, IMHO it's easier to type deg then memorize ° or use +/- instead of ±, K=1/2mv^2 then K = ½mv² unless you do it a lot, but worth knowing it's out there

Hitting "Alt+144" every time I need to type É is not really a solution.

As Craig said, your mileage will vary 
But there is another alternative that might work for you

Agreed. If I want to write in French, I have to use Word.

Use a UK keyboard instead of US, and press Alt GR + vowel for acute accents.
