Copy & paste? Macro in your editor? Use the capabilities of your system? [1]
In Java, you can also use \u00F7 in place of the character itself... It is translated 
before the parser / lexer phase.
We can also use trigrams like in C (IIRC).

[1] Moritz gave an example.
On Windows it is: http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm
More generic instructions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input

Generic answer, as Roberto said it was only a joke: it is unlikely to see such operators 
in Lua anytime soon!
