European Characters in \markup

[D Josiah Boothby]

so how do you use european characters in a markup string? i'm having a 
devil of a time entering non-ascii text, especially when i connect to my 
computer remotely (when i'm at school).

i've tried \\'e, \\'{e} \'e \'{e}, which is more than I could have come 
up with on my own a week ago (before the threads regarding the use of 
TeX encoding in the header and in lyrics cropped up).
