Windows 10: Key sequences autocorrecting to special characters

I have already turned off all autocorrect options in the settings As far as I know of. However, certain keyboard shortcuts or character sequences insert special characters. e.g. Ctrl+Shift+M should insert a comment in Google Slides, instead it a types greek letter Mu it won't allow me to type here and "a typed in sequence, not as a combination will transform into ä. How can I turn this off? In the settings I turned off SwiftKey suggestions, and that worked for a day, but then it stopped working. I''ve tried turning it on and off repeatedly.

Thanks for posting the information and the portable doc.

Every Windows has Charmap in Start | Windows Accessories. It's great if you need a one time character, but not as convenient as learning the few often typed characters such as the ones Dick mentioned.

If you want to go further with characters, beyond this thread then you should take a peek at Charmap
