For uncommon symbols, instead of search documentation on-line or in a big PDF to find packages and commands to include in my code, I have found useful sometimes to compile the whole table of characters of a font (even in the working document) to quickly find, for example, the skull of the omding font that is \char194. Of course, you have first to know that you have a font file with that name (omding.tfm) but then is easy:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fonttable}
\begin{document}
\fonttable{omding}
\font\evilskull=omding
\evilskull \char194
\end{document}

You can also search for a skull the in Comprehensive LaTeX symbols list, or paint a skull in Detexify, or remember the easy command "\skull" (and do not forget load the skull package and enter in math mode) o try to find a \dingbat or \ding{whatever}... but when I want a skull (really never) must be that of white bones (just try the other methods if you don't know what I mean).

For a frequent usage, sure that is better search for a skull the in Comprehensive LaTeX symbols list, or be a good painter and try Detexify, remember the easy command "\skull", do not forget load the skull package and enter in math mode, o try to find a \dingbat or \ding{whatever}... but when I print a skull (really never) must be that of white bones (just try the other method if you don't know what I mean).
