This is not really needed anymore, as LilyPond can support all UTF-8
characters natively.

Actually, the double quote is the only character you need to 'escape',
by preceding it with a backslash:

\markup "This 'is' #a \"quoted sentence\" \with $pecial {chars}"

As you can see, the #, { or \ characters are otherwise looking good.
