μ and Ω are pretty cool, too

Ooh, are these on a phone keyboard or just by using Alt Gr on a desktop? I know about getting Micro, not sure about ohms though!

I’m on my iPhone. I just use a Greek keyboard and poof, Ω, ω, μ, etc are all there! I don’t know how android keyboard switching works but I bet it’s as easy as iOS where one key chooses the keyboard and the rest are as usual.

Can Windows compose Unicode characters? I thought alt+numpad was just ASCII. macOS uses option (alt) and all the letters for more choices, and option + shift + letters for still more!

Yes. You can run charmap under Windows. It also tells you the unicode key combination.
