Two things:

1. Make sure your Lilypond file, and your text editor's 
preferences, are set to use UTF-8 encoding. (Not 
ISO-8859-anything, not ASCII, not others.)

2. Just type the character you want, as you did in your email 
above. Copy & paste should work fine if the text is coming from 
another source - but make sure in copying & pasting that no 
unwanted other characters get in. In Lilypond it should not be 
necessary to type the codes. (However, if you are in some 
situation where it's necessary, there shouldn't be anything wrong 
with typing the codes either.)
