[texhax] getting Cyrillic math characters

[Phil Parker]

I tried looking in the places I know about, especially the FAQ, but came up
empty -- probably because I don't know how to find it.

What's the easiest way to use single Cyrillic characters (e.g., "sha" for the
Shafarevich-Tate group) as operator-like entities in math mode in LaTeX?
