You can change a files encoding in visual studio via "File" > "Advanced Save Options". The unicode encoding that seems to work best is "'Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - codepage 65001". I do not know a keyboard combo for Greek letters but one probable does exist!

I found that I can enter unusual characters by holding down Alt, typing the character code on the keyboard's number pad (maybe prefixed with 0), and then releasing Alt. The codes for the « and » are 171 and 187 (decimal). In Visual Studio it works for me if I type:

[Hold Alt] 0 1 7 1 [Release Alt]

Some applications allow you to type the code in hexidecimal, then hit Alt-X. This works in WordPad, but not in Visual Studio. 171 and 187 in hex are "aa" and "ab".

Strangely, the this hex method does work in the F# Interactive window, but then the « character becomes undeletable.
