I want to replace the keyboard shortcut for
⌥Option + d = ∂
with
⌥Option + d = ð
How can I do that?

KeyboardMaestro solved my problem, but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require a third-part software. Thanks! – hiru Aug 29 '14 at 21:49

1yes, a solution w/o 3rd party requirement is ideal! – beroe Aug 29 '14 at 22:32

Create a plain text file with this in it (in TextEdit, use Format > Make Plain Text):
{
"~d" = ("insertText:", "ð");
}
Call it DefaultKeyBinding.dict (make sure to uncheck “When no extension is provided, use .txt”), and save it in ~/Library/KeyBindings/. (You can press Command ⌘+Shift ⇧+G and paste that path.)
The "~d" means Option-D, and the ("insertText:", "ð") means it will insert a ð character instead of ∂.
You will have to restart your applications in order for this setting to take effect.

Another solution is to create a custom keyboard layout. I can easily type symbols like →, ←, 💩, and ♥ with my custom layout.
