Example:

To get the symbol μ, type the following string of text:

& m u ;

But you MUST TYPE ALL 4 CHARACTERS WITH NO SPACES

  Rebecca G.  says:
Then you must be doing something incorrectly.

Always start with the & character.

Always end with the ; character.

In between these two characters, there will be a string of other characters, for example:

mu
sigma
plusmn

For the above strings, place an & in front and a ; at the end (no spaces).

When you save your work, you will see the symbol displayed correctly.
