I want to type unicode characters with the keyboard. I'm looking for a solution with no mouse usage. For example, below I have a line with the unicode "PILE-OF-POO" character:

💩

The codepoint for PILE OF POO is U+1F4A9 and on mya linux boxoperating system I couldcan create this linecharacter by typing:

Ctrl+Shift+u,

1, f, 4, a, 9

space

How can I do something similar on a mac keyboard in Yosemite? Other answers I've searched involve fiddling with menus and switching input sources.
