Here's a list of ISO characters (the fun funky ones you keep seeing)mapped from their decimal representation:

Alt35  #   Alt36  $   Alt37  %   Alt38  &   Alt39  '

ISO characters can sometimes be entered at the keyboard by holding down the ALT key and typing the decimal number on the numeric keypad

Some systems use the ALT key in combination with alphanumeric + punctuation keys. The following keystroke mappings work for FreeBSD ûñí×.

¡ !     ¢ "     £ #     ¤ $     ¥ %

e.g. to type Ë, hold down the ALT and SHIFT and k keys simultaneously. õ is typed via ALT and u.
