Are you using Linux? What is your locale setting? For me, using the Gimp on-canvas text tool, hold down control and keep it pressed hold down shift and keep it pressed press 3 and let go press b and let go press 1 and let go let go of control and shift will insert a lower-case Greek letter alpha (α). If that doesn't work, gucharmap (gnome character map) will let you copy Greek letters that you can paste into gimp. You can use the right-click menu to paste when the gimp text tool is active. If you prever, in tool options for the text tool, select "use editor" and paste there instead. If you are using a mac, windows, or the android or ipad unofficial gimp ports, please say so, as it's hard to guess your environment and these things work differently on different systems.
