Special character in text problem

Greetings, LilyPonders -

I'm working on a transcription, and I'm running into a text problem. I need to include a couple of paragraphs, including a quotation, and the name Bartok is included. I cannot figure out how to include the accent on the "o". Here's what I've tried (I'm attaching a PDF of the result, as well as the .ly file):

%%%%%%%%% Begin Snippet %%%%%%%%%

\version "2.12.3"

test =
\relative c' {
  a a a a
}


\paper {
  ragged-last-bottom = ##t
  ragged-right = ##f
}

\book {

%%%%%%%% \markuplines with justified-lines and no quotes no spec char %%%%%%%%
  \markuplines {
    \justified-lines {
      Whatever you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough.
    }
  }
 
  \score {
    \test
  }

%%%%%%%% \markup-lines with \justified-lines and quotes no spec char %%%%%%%%
%%%% does not wrap %%%%
  \markuplines {
    \justified-lines {
      "Whatever you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough."
    }
  }
 
  \score {
    \test
  }

%%%%%% DOES NOT WORK %%%%%%%
%{
%%%%%%%% \markup-lines with \justified-lines and  no quotes spec char (no sep)%%
  \markuplines {
    \justified-lines {
      Whatever Bart\ ##x00F3k you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough.
    }
  }
%}
 
%%%%% DOES NOT WORK %%%%%
%{
%%%% \markup-lines with \justified-lines and no quotes spec char ( sep)%%
  \markuplines {
    \justified-lines {
      Whatever Bart \ ##x00F3 k you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough.
    }
  }
%}

%%%% \markup \justify-string quotes no spec char %%%%
  \markup {
    \justify-string #"Whatever you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough."
  }

  \score {
    \test
  }

%%%% \markup \justify-string quotes spec char %%%%
%%%% spaces around \char ##x00F3 seem to make no difference. %%%
%%%% spec char is printed, but with spaces around it, and wordwrap stops %%%
  \markup {
    \justify-string #"Whatever Bart" \char ##x00F3 "k you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough."
  }
 
  \score {
    \test
  }

%%%% \markup \wordwrap-string quotes spec char %%%%
%%%% spaces around \char ##x00F3 seem to make no difference. %%%
%%%% spec char is printed, but with spaces around it, and wordwrap stops %%%
  \markup {
    \wordwrap-string #"Whatever Bart" \char ##x00F3 "k you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough."
  }

  \score {
    \test
  }

%%%% \markup \fill-line \justify-string with quotes spec char %%%%
  \markup {
    \fill-line{
      \override #'(line-width . 60)
      \justify-string #"Whatever Bart" \char ##x00F3 "k you want to do will probably make sense. What if we do something like this? I think we need even more text. I hope this will be enough."
    }
  }

  \score {
    \test
  }
}

%%%%%%% End Snippet %%%%%

Can anyone suggest how I can get the text to wrap, include the special character, and *not* have spaces preceding and following the special character? I've tried all the searches I could think of in the documentation, the Snippet Repository, and the list archives.

I appreciate your time and attention,

Ralph
