Instead of using another program, you can tell LaTeX how to generate the character you want when it is encountered. Something along these lines should work: \usepackage{newunicodechar} \newunicodechar{α}{\ensuremath{\alpha}} \newunicodechar{±}{\ensuremath{\pm}} based on the newunicodechar package and assuming you can build up the character glyph you want from basic LaTeX commands, including maths mode.
