I see. I can get it from the character map application in Ubuntu.

I am puzzled, though, as the Notation Reference documents the use of html-style notation for special characters.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/list-of-special-characters

So I suppose either the software or the manual is not correct (or the manual could be correct but misleading).

Half-half I'd say.
In the first line of that page you're directed to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/special-characters#ascii-aliases
where the first example uses

\paper {
  #(include-special-characters)
}

So everything is there, but you're right it could be more explicit.
