      I concede that very few people bother to learn the sequence or create a keybinding to symbols used at school. You can copy/paste if you only need it rarely, or use a software symbol selector (its icon in Word and Sheets is literally Ω). However, every keyboard that has a searchable emoji picker should also index the rest of Unicode in my opinion.

      Custom keybindings I use the most are (in no particular order) πµΩαβγΔ²³±√∞≤≥≠∈⋮⌀∙█⚠☢☣♥⚙✔✖❗←↑→↓·ẞ, nbsp and hair space. There is also ☃ (Shift+AltGr+8) as an XKCD reference.

      This is America. We are taught as little as possible in school. I promise you less than 10% of teachers know how to make an omega symbol on a computer let alone know how to teach that to a kid who has only interacted with an iPhone.
