Bug Description

In autokey-gtk, any time I have the pi symbol in one of my key-phases, later when I try to auto-key the phrase it changes the pi symbol (π) to Ā (an A with a dash above it).

This is because the X server keymap does not contain this symbol. You have to use the clipboard paste mode when expanding phrases with Unicode characters.
You may want to upgrade to 0.95.0, as this release fixes the clipboard pasting modes.
