as an engineer I use these three all the time.

° - Alt 0176
³ - Alt 0179
² - Alt 0178
 
Alt0169 = ©. Handy for copyrighting text you write and images such as photos you take and drawings you create, especially if you publish your work and are bothered about asserting or defending your intellectual property.
Alt0177 = ±. Useful for a range either side of a specific number , e.g., North American kiln operators generally aiming to dry furniture grade wood to 7% MC ±2%.
Alt0228 = ä, useful for Häfele (hardware, etc), or anywhere else where that accent, the name of which escapes me at the moment (umlaut, maybe?), applies.
Slainte.
