"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."

I discovered that there is a pie character which can be accessed through
the Gnome characters app.

You can access the entire Greek alphabet. I have a second keyboard on my phone set up for
Greek too. I don't need it that often, but it is nice.
I think you can use xmodmap to access any unicode character.
