Instead of using another program, you can tell LaTeX how to generate the
character you want when it is encountered.  Something along these lines
should work:

\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\newunicodechar{α}{\ensuremath{\alpha}}
\newunicodechar{±}{\ensuremath{\pm}}

based on the newunicodechar package and assuming you can build up the
character glyph you want from basic LaTeX commands, including maths
mode.

HTH,
