Depends what version of zim you are using. The 0.28 version can
complete codes like \alpha into the actual unicode characters. Zim
0.46 is lacking this feature (you might want to open a bug report for
that).

Another option is to use Ctrl + Shift + u followed by the hex code. For example Ctrl + Shift + u, 1d6fc gives 𝛼.

Not ideal, but may be the temporary fix you need.

@michael: in the development tree there is now an "insert symbol" plugin which brings back functionality from version 0.28 and adds a dialog for this.
