In the discussion on http://dot.kde.org/1065171869/ someone pointed to this bug report. I 
agree with what was said: "Will you implement a possibilty for unicode symbols to be 
shown as unicode symbols instead of \alpha commands? This would be a real benefit." 
 
I like Jorge Adriano's proposals (1) and (2). This would be particulary useful for using LaTeX. 
Kile would greatly benefit from this. 
 
The problem with LaTeX is that you cannot use UTF-8 Encoding. I know there is an effort to 
build a Unicode LaTeX (Lambda/Omega), but I'd prefer to use Latin1 only for portability 
reasons and Omega is still not released anyway. 
 
What's needed when you type \alpha is for kate to look into a character map (possibly 
provided by Kile) that tells Kate \alpha is an alias for the unicode-character alpha. It then 
displays the so-parsed text as unicode. 
When saving, it would just replace the  unicode-characters with their respective LaTeX-
counterparts. 
 
Isn't this just a simple matter of search and replace?
