Whether or not that's possible depends on the Lisp version and output terminal.

Here is one way to get a UTF-8 terminal (in Linux).
When I run Maxima compiled with Clisp, I can create strings and
symbols which contain characters other than Latin-1.

LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -fn
'-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--18-120-100-100-C-90-ISO10646-1'

There are a lot of possibilities here; probably you'll have to tell us
more about your computing environment.
What does build_info() report? Are you running Maxima via
XMaxima or wxMaxima?

Also, Maxima's tex function outputs TeX commands for Greek
letters and other symbols.

Hope this helps
