I posted recently about the Glyphs panel, it's a great way to find the hidden characters you need from a font. But I've managed to memorize a few keystrokes that have saved me time in using the symbols you can't find directly on the keyboard. Here are two I use constantly:
copyright symbol, © = option g
bullet, • = option 8
And here are two new ones that I used recently on a job, that I'm working on memorizing:
accent, é, as in the word purée = option e + e (or the accented letter)
degrees, ° = shift option 8
When you type option e for the accent, you'll see the accent highlighted and the next letter you type will appear under the accent. Wonderful! I was getting tired of going to Wikipedia for the words "purée" and "créme."
