Type a symbol useing shortcut keys rather the insert a symbol

I have a couple of symbols I use a lot. Is there a way I can type those
symbols using some type of keystroke shortcut rather than going through all
the steps of inserting a symbol?

In Word, it allows me to assign shortcuts, but I don't see that option in
Excel. I tried creating a Macro, but when it runs, it jumps to the same cell
each time. I want to be able to type my symbol, hit "Space" and begin typing
my comment in Arial.

You can use the autocorrect option to replace text. For example if you type
(c) into a cell it autocorrects to the copywrite symbol. To access these
replacements use

Tools -> Auto Correct...
