It is meant for those who are already familiar with LaTeX but do not have a handy unicode input method. Emacs has a feature that allows you to literally type \alpha or \in or any of hundreds of other LaTeX commands and have it substituted with the appropriate unicode character right in the plain text buffer you're editing.

So what is needed is a transformation from unicode-alpha to latex-alpha etc? That's no problem to implement, but doesn't emacs do that by itself? Latex can't render those unicode-alphas etc
