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

It took a bit to memorize, but that's an option too.
Is there a simple way to have an international keyboard?

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

How many languages do you need to routinely access? Are you opposed to keyboard stickers?

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

Obviously the solution is to be less educated. Who needs French?

I'd like to point out that alt codes are ENORMOUSLY inconvient on laptops,

Yeah, I find inserting accents really easy with a Mac keyboard *NM*

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

A one-time thing, rather than an ongoing waste that will accumulate to eat up days of my life. *NM*
