Answer 1

rmarkdown uses LaTeX to create the PDF, so you should be able to just use LaTeX markup. As an example:

---
title: "Test"
output: pdf_document
---

This is a special character: \u{g}.

Also, depending on the particular characters, you may be able to just type them in as-is (see, for example, here).
