You're right in that, if I have the symbols in xkb as greek_lowercase
and greek_UPPERCASE, they both act as the lowercase version in keybinds.
However, when I type them as Unicode, they don't both act as lowercase,
but the uppercase version acts as lowercase and vice versa. Also, I
don't want them to both to act as lowercase, since I have them on higher
layers of my xkb layout, similarly to the
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo_(keyboard_layout)][Neo layout]],
which in Linux are accessed using the Num, Alt and Shift modifier, so
that I can't, say, input C-S-ω because pressing shift switches the
keyboard layer. I'm pretty sure that's why I switched to using Unicode
in the first place.
