+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

+The following example shows UTF-8 coded characters being used in
+four places -- in a rehearsal mark, as articulation text, in lyrics
