WinCompose v0.9.3
WinCompose v0.9.3 A compose key for Windows, free and opensource, created by Sam Hocevar with the help of dozens of contributors. A compose key allows to easily write special characters such as é ž à ō û ø ☺ ¤ ∅ « ♯ ⸘ Ⓚ ㊷ ♪ ♬ using short and often very intuitive key combinations.

WinCompose supports rules of more than 2 characters such as ⎄ Compose ( 3 ) for ③. WinCompose supports early exits. For instance, ⎄ Compose q will immediately type q because there is currently no rule starting with q. As of now, WinCompose is almost fully translated to Belarusian, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Greek, ...
