-Here are three ways of entering a UTF-8 code:
+is known but which is not available in the editor being used, use
+@code{\char ##xhhhh} within a @code{\markup} block, where
+@code{hhhh} is the hexadecimal code for the character required.
+For example, @code{\char ##x03BE} enters the Unicode U+03BE
+character, which has the Unicode name @qq{Greek Small Letter Xi}.
+Any Unicode hexadecimal code may be substituted, and if all special
+characters are entered in this format it is not necessary to save
+the input file in UTF-8 format.  Of course, a font containing all
+such encoded characters must be installed and available to LilyPond.
+
+The following example shows UTF-8 coded characters being used in
+four places -- in a rehearsal mark, as articulation text, in lyrics
+and as stand-alone text below the score:
 
 @lilypond[quote,verbatim]
 \score {
   \relative c'' {
-    c2^#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x03EE))
-    c2_\markup { \tiny { #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x03B1)) " to "
-                         #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x03C9)) } }
+    c1 \mark \markup { \char ##x03EE }
+    c1_\markup { \tiny { \char ##x03B1 " to " \char ##x03C9 } }
   }
+  \addlyrics { O \markup { \concat{ Ph \char ##x0153 be! } } }
 }
-\markup { "Copyright 2008" #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) }
+\markup { "Copyright 2008" \char ##x00A9 }
 @end lilypond
 
 To enter the copyright sign in the copyright notice use:
 
 @example
 \header @{
-  copyright = \markup @{ #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) "2008" @}
+  copyright = \markup @{ \char ##x00A9 "2008" @}
 @}
 @end example

-The @code{ly:export} format may be used in text within @code{\mark} or
-@code{\markup} commands but not in lyrics.
