On macOS, and on a qwerty keyboard:

• Ω is Option Z

• ± is Option Shift = (or Option + if you look at it another way)

Many moons ago, HyperTalk (and I think AppleScript still does) supported ≥, ≤ and ≠ as shorthands for >=, <= and !=; and they were typed as Option >, Option <, and Option = respectively (fewer keystrokes).
