Easy unicode entry in eclipse?

I just got the JuliaDT plugin for Eclipse working - so far so good, it does support syntax coloration.

Does anyone know how to enter unicode strings by looking them up e.g. “\pi” for pi?

hex lookup works by typing CTRL+SHIFT+U,(hex id),ENTER
e.g. CTRL+SHIFT+U,3b1,ENTER becomes α
(from stack overflow)

I guess I could do the lookups and commit some numbers to memory using this table
Unicode Range "Greek"
BUT computers are good at this stuff and life is too short.

Thanks in advance!
