For most basic needs, there is already a utility within RootsMagic for
insertion of special characters (from the RM Help file):

Character Map

The character map is a table of characters which you can bring up in
the note editor, name fields, or place fields. To open the character
map, press Ctrl+T while you are in one of these fields.

Once the character map is open, you can use your mouse or arrow keys
to select any character in the table, and then click the "Select"
button to paste that character into the note or edit field.
