Yes, it exists that keyboard as John has shown. But I think that the next step is different. I think the most useful thing would be that the keyboard be another screen, but a "tactil"-digital one. I think that this option would develope all the possibilities of Unicode. I am not talking of a keyboa

On my computer, compose is Shift+RightControl (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key). This approach is best for staying within one script.

On Linux, there is the compose key, on Mac, there is the option/alt key, and both are very convenient. On Windows, there are the alt key codes but these are very inconvenient, instead you can use the program AllChars ( allchars.zwolnet.com) which imitates the behaviour of the compose key. I use the
