In the Format menu in Notepad++ you can choose the option "Encode in UTF-8" that should be all that is required, hope this helps..

The simple answer is that you need an editor that can save
files using UTF-8 encoding. You know more about Notepad++ than I do.
There are a number of proposed editors listed somewhere in the on-line
documentation.

See the section on Invoking LilyPond. I hope you are familiar to the
command prompt in Windows. Then it's easy to use whatever flags to
LilyPond, such as
lilypond --png myfile.ly
