Just select a character and let the mouse hover over it. (A total
of 2820 glyphs can be obtained this way.)
Here is a table of special French characters obtained in this way:
character Unicode
é 00E9
è 00E8
ê 00EA
î 00EE
ç 00E7
à 00E0
ô 00F4
For instance,
\markup{ \concat{ B \char ##x00E9 caud } }
in lyrics gives Bécaud in LilyPond output (from TeXShop input), as
per the Notation Reference 3.3.3.
Incidentally, TeXShop produces this output even without changing

PS I think it would be useful if the doc in Notation Reference
3.3.3 said something about how to obtain the unicodes (for users
who are not using a UTF-8 supported edito)r.
If you're on a macintosh, this is an extremely long way to do this.
The faster way is to hold down option, the modifier, and then the
character. For example, é is option-e-e and è is option-`-e. These
can all be seen in the keyboard viewer, which can be accessed from
System Preferences in the Input Menu of the International preferences.
Also, if you're on a macintosh, your editor supports UTF-8.
