It's possible by using XeTeX, a good font, and a bit of code in the
preamble. But be aware you'll need to find an OpenType font with ALL the
symbols you need, otherwise you'll be dealing with a lot of compilation
errors!
After setting your document to use XeTeX and choosing an appropriate font,
in the Preamble write something like this
\newcommand{\Name}{\symbol{"XXXX}}
where XXXX is the corresponding Unicode hex code. Now, on your document
open a TeX box (Ctrl-L) and type \Name in it. That's all.
