For those who stick with pdflatex, you can also use "=CE=B1" directly in =
the=20
org document, and define

#+latex_header: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
#+latex_header: \declareunicodecharacter{03b1}{=CE=B1}

Provided your file is indeed encoded in utf-8 (but why would you use any=20
other encoding?)

This simply tells the compiler to bind "=CE=B1" to the unicode character=20
"greek small letter alpha" (U+03B1). If there is a lot of unicode in the=20
document, XeTeX/LuaTeX are definitely better choices.
