Accented characters

As My wife and I are learning Greek and corresponding with Greek friends, we need to be able to type accented Greek characters in Apple Mail.

Mail handles this by using "unicode" (I believe) and there is no keyboard shortcut. However, I can copy and paste the required accented characters from a web page like this:
http://www.satcure.net/tech/greek.html


Accented Alpha: ά
Accented Ita: ή
Accented Omega: ώ
Accented Ipsilon: ύ
Accented Epsilon: έ
Accented Omicron: ό
Accented Yiota: ί

(If you go View -> Message -> Raw Source
you can see the resultant unicode).

Question: Is there a way to write a script to put an accented character into a Mail window at the current cursor position?
Maybe like this?


tell application "Mail" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Mail"
		keystroke "X"
	end tell
end tell
