You can push and hold a key to get a context menu with different options. You can then click using your pointer or choose the number for each character.
You can also use the character viewer (Edit > Emoji & Symbols) for non-standard letter combinations like ŷ (y-hat) which is used in statistics but not in any language I am familiar with.
Yet another option is to add another language to the keyboard, and use the keyboard viewer which maps foreign languages to the keyboard you have:
