Yes - but you must be careful that it's spelt the word you actually
want. (!)

Well, whatever. In the case of knowing the Greek alphabet, this is
trivially searchable. Indeed, you just need to type "Greek alphabet"
into Wikipedia...

That is, of course, if you know the character you're looking at belongs
to the Greek alphabet. Otherwise, googling is futile.
Though, I guess since it's a mathematical symbol chances are, it's Greek.

Although if you know its a mathematical symbol you can Google that and get
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_mathematical_symbols as the first
return and just scroll down that until you see the same one ;-)

Or to put it another way Greek like Latin has only upper case letters with
lower case being only a recent introduction ;-)
