body: <p>Is there some plugin that allows you to type unicode characters by name easily?</p>
  
  <p>For example :</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Writing <code>\gamma</code> and hitting <code>TAB</code> would replace the <code>\gamma</code> with <code>γ</code>.</li>
  <li>Writing <code>\Gamma</code> and ... with <code>Γ</code>.</li>
  <li>Writing <code>\-&gt;</code> ... <code>→</code>.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Et cetera. </p>
