The "special character" tool gives access to MathML entities:
The unicode code character is &#x003B5;  may be represented by two MathML 
entities the &epsi; or &straightepsilon;
The same character may be represented by one HTML entity &epsilon;

In next version Amaya will generate &epsilon; instead &epsi; in HTML 
documents.
