What is a normal realm of things here?
^^Depends. What does that do?
It's the shortcut for insert symbol, so it's easy to do stuff like ✐ or ❽ or ❦ .
There probably is something like that, but I haven't the slightest clue what it is.
I also appreciate that you can make ´and ¨and ˜so easily.

Also, you can do this by Alt codes on numpads too, even if you aren't using English International.
As for actual wingdings, I...haven't ever had a need for them, frankly speaking. They seem to be very restricted to their novelty value and very particular circumstances.

Typing typically does nothing (or autosearches, for some browsers) when you're using a browser. If you're in a text entry area, it enters text into that area. If you're in some sort of script such as a Java applet or a flash game it interacts with that.
In Opera, while all the default keyboard shortcuts require a modifier key of some sort, they can be assigned to whatever keys you like, with or without any modifiers. Even if you don't have any modifier keys, it doesn't interfere with normal text input (via a text box or the like). Don't know how Chrome is in that regard though.
