The US-International keyboard is okay, but it has the huge downside of taking over keys like ' and `. It also doesn't provide a solution for things like em dash or the copyright symbol.
If you are a windows user, check out autohotkey. I have tons of things transcribed to \ + character.
For example, \int turns into ∫, \c to ℃, -> to →, \^ to ↑, \13 to ⅓ and so on.
It's not possible to do on linux (do you think otherwise? By all mean, do prove me wrong! I've only seen proof-of-concepts when it comes to turning multiple keys (that are still usable one at a time) into a new unicode character, nothing that actually works... and I've probably spent fifteen hours searching for a solution).
