You can enter your funnies using ASCII transcriptions, and the software is responsible for ensuring that they come out right. A bit of preliminary work is needed, but afterwards things become pretty straightforward.
As long as it is only a minority of your work, or you have editors (like yudit and qemacs) that work around inadequate input devices and can do some smart conversion work from files actually written from the remote character set into the transliteration. ("funnies" probably isn't the best thing to call other people's characters...)
It's a good half-way solution, but the problem is going away: today's TeX can accept some unicode input, it seems.
