As an extension to Mats' response (doing C-x RET f RET utf-8 RET to set the file's encoding), you may also want to use (M-X ucs-insert RET unicode-hex-code RET) to enter specific characters by their hex codes (see www.unicode.org/charts/ for all the UNICODE code point charts).

Subject: utf-8


For about a year now. I have been using Lilypond. I was very happy with it,
very very happy. Until the day that I tried to write a French title in which
there was a letter with an accent.
Ever since, no matter what I have done, I have failed to produce a pdf file
that displayed the character properly.
I am using a Windows XP machine.
First I used the lilypond offered through cygwin. That worked until I tried
the letter with the accent.
I have used emacs through cygwin, then the latest version of Xemacs without
Cygwin. Nothing worked.
I updated lilypond through cygwin only to get no characters at all any more.
When I read that it was better to use lilypond for Windows, I switched (the
characters now were better than ever before, but still no character with an
accent.
Finally, I switched editors, tried Editpad. To no avail.
I have spent innumerable hours trying to solve the problem. There must be a
simple solution, for I have seen a source file with the line in the header
saying inputencoding="utf-8". I copied that trick. Lilypond handled it
without protesting. But no accented character.
Who can tell me in clear language how to lick the problem?

Thanks.
dubcek.
