@zacts
again, you have quite a few ways to do it.
please do check this page
http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_n_unicode.html
more specifically, use one of the following method:
• Emacs: Abbrev Mode

• Emacs: Xah Math Input Mode

which to use depends on how often you type those chars, in what context.
