You can create an equation, or apply a character format: Click somewhere in the margin of your document so you're not in the text flow. Create a new character format, name it and save it in the catalog. Choose the new format from the dropddown list. Check that everything is set to As Is (press Shift+F8 if not). Change the font to Symbol; Update All. In your text, type the normal character (or Alt-key combination) for the symbol you want, and apply the new character format to it. Mu is a lowercase 'm'; Omega is uppercase 'W', etc. You can find character tables on-line or create your own by typing the alphabet in upper and lower, copying and pasting and then applying the char tag to the duplicate.
