I have never seen a full list for Option and Option Shift, which would be over 200 I think. But you can see everything and even input them directly via the Keyboard Viewer:

There are way too many symbols and alternate letters to list.
Use the Emoji & Symbols Viewer and the Keyboard Viewer to find optional characters.
