I made my own keyboard layout… I have it on AltGr+Enter. The Unicode
is 21B5, so another way is to type Ctrl+Shift+u 21b5 Enter (or just
continue typing). THis doesn't work everywhere, though. For instance
in my web browser (Opera). The ”Opera way” is, instead: 21b5
Ctrl+Shift+x.

”U+21B5 DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH CORNER LEFTWARDS – may indicate a
carriage return or new line”.
