There is a feature in Linux that allows you to enter various Unicode symbols by typing level 3 key + letter or level 5 key + letter (possibly with shift also held). DEs usually have an option to turn on additional typography characters or Unicode arrows on numpad this way. That wasn’t enough for me, so I made my own, err, table or whatever files in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols are called.
It has superscript and subscript digits, Esperanto letters, quotation characters, various spaces and dashes and some other stuff
(like … or ‽).
P.S. Multiplication, division and minus signs are not here, because they can be added with keypad:oss option (something along the lines of Unicode arrows and mathematical operators in your DE keyboard options for numpad).
