That's a good answer which I can use
This is not really needed anymore, as LilyPond can support all UTF-8
characters natively.
I was actually thinking about normal characters like '"' which have
another syntactical meaning in Lily.
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.
