Using mainfont='DejaVu Sans Mono' works, but

* by default, pandoc should use a font that has the character in
question (the default X11 fonts have it);

* if the character isn't present, it should output an error.

But if pandoc had correct pdflatex support, there would be no
problems (I use UTF-8 math characters in my LaTeX files without
any problem).
