There sure is!

(Note that a lot of the most common diacriticals have intuitive amper entities in addition to the purely numerical ones - (amper)ouml(semi) and so on. I've only memorized the numbers for a couple of the non-intuitive ones I use most often, most notably ī and ō (299 and 333 respectively), so I refer to that document quite often.)
