This should have no affect whatsoever on the interpretation of the
characters.  m is m even when the language is Greek.  In fact, for
maths, it could make things worse by implementing Greek specific
layout rules.

I would say you would be reasonably safe to use the entities, especially
as there are named entities that may work even if the browser isn't
Unicode aware.
