I think you need to make sure whatever Lisp is being used can support
such characters. Basically a Lisp that supports unicode. And whatever
you're using to type into maxima needs to be able to do that as well.
For example, using emacs and shell mode with maxima running on cmucl
with unicode support, I can enter delta t using a greek capital delta
character. But that means setting up emacs shell mode to use utf-8 for
input and output, and also setting up cmucl to use utf-8 for
*standard-input* and *standard-output*.
Once that's done, Greek characters can be used.
