It has to be within a \markup and not in quotes. And xc2a9 should be 00a9.
Try
c'4^\markup { #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) }
or just
\markup { "Copyright 2008" #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) }
outside the score block to place it in text, or for the copyright line, try
copyright = \markup { #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00a9)) "2008" }
.

Subject: insertion of UTF-8 characters
The documentation [/Lilypond notation reference.pdf/, “3.3.3 Text
encoding”, pdf p. 318.] states that UTF-8 coding is used in Ly and that
UTF-8 hex codes can be inserted into text. An example is given, and I show
it here using the code of interest to me - that for the Copyright sign:
#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #xc2a9))|
|This example has no context, and when I put it in one I cannot get it to
work. I suggest that the documentation be modified to give one. Meanwhile,
I need a solution to the problem of how to insert a Copyright sign into
the copyright line. Here's what I tried:
\header {...
copyright = "#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #xc2a9)) 2008"
...
It produced this in the PDF output:
#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #xc2a9)) 2008
Placing the UTF code export line outside of the quotes wouldn't even
compile.
Can anyone suggest how to do this?
Thanks!
Tom
