Under Linux, you'd use the Compose facility. Take a look at eg.
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose for all the nice things it
let's you enter:

$ egrep '[πτΓ]' /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
<dead_greek> <G>            : "Γ"   U0393    # GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA
<dead_greek> <p>            : "π"   U03C0    # GREEK SMALL LETTER PI
<dead_greek> <t>            : "τ"   U03C4    # GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU


Best,
-Nikolaus
