Why is everyone going on about the Character Pallette when most of the required symbols are available from the keyboard?
Using the option key, these are the standard symbols for US and UK keyboards (lower case followed by upper case with the addition of the shift key) Starting with the numeric row;
¡€#¢∞§¶•ªº–≠

Enable the Keyboard viewer by checking 'show keyboard and character viewer in the menu bar' in System Preferences > Keyboard > keyboard tab.
Open the keyboard viewer from the flag menu and press the opt key - you'll see all the available symbols and accents. Some of them are highlighted in orange - these can be used with multiple letter combinations.
For instance, opt+e followed by e = é, opt+e followed by a = á, opt+u followed by o = ö.
