Victor Mono Typeface
Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2]
I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose). [3]

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
On Windows, I use http://wincompose.info/ for all my special-character needs (and use the system compose key on Linux).

I’ve previously used a nice little tool called WinCompose for exactly that. Looks like it’s still going:

How do you write a character not present in unicode?
I use WinCompose which gives me the same compose-key functionality that's built into Linux. I've chosen one key on my keyboard to be the Compose key (I use Right-Alt, but you can pick any key that's convenient). Then I can type

Assuming you are on desktop/laptop:
The long-winded way is to use your OS's character map tool: find the glyph you want there and copy+paste. Under Windows 10+ there is the emoji keyboard (hit [win]+;) which also gives access to much more including super-/sub- script characters, which is a little more convenient than character map. Presumably other OSs have similar available too.
Better is to have support for a compose key sequence. Usually build in to Linux & similar, you just might have to find the setting to turn it on and configure what your compose key is. Under Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ and there are a couple of similar tools out there. In any case it is useful for more than super- and sub-scripts: accented characters & similar (áàäæçffñ), some fractions (¼,½,¾), other symbols (°∞™®↑↓←→‽¡¿⸘♥⋘»‱), and configurable too so you can make what you use most easiest to access (and if you are really sad like me you can do something https://xkcd.com/2583/ to type hallelujah too!).

Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
- WSLtty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty)
Better than the Windows Terminal for WSL. You can work in tmux without getting strange visual artifacts, and allows you to view sixel graphics in console! Fair warning though, I only installed it about two weeks ago, so I can't claim I've battle-tested it though.

What is your experience running Linux via WSL in Windows?
Another big downside is the lack of a good terminal on Windows. After many attempts I landed on wsltty (https://github.com/mintty/wsltty), which is the closest thing to Linux terminal emulators I could find. The new Windows terminal doesn't live up to the hype at all, I found it slow and quite buggy.
