I make a lot of teaching materials with lilypond, and
in the past, perhaps one year ago, I could use the
unicodes for the sharp symbol (♯), the flat symbol (♭)
and the natural symbol (♮) within the \addlyrics brackets
and they would render correctly.

With my most recent version of lilypond, "2.25.2", this
stopped working.

Is this a bug or a new feature?

If it is a new feature, then how does one go about putting
the sharp, flat, and natural symbols in the lyrics?

Below is a working example of how this _use_ to work
in lilypond.

Thank you for your help.

P.S.  Maybe I am not using the term, unicode correctly
and these characters: ♭, ♯, and ♮ are some other kind
of non-ascii character.  In any case, in past lilypond
versions they would work, and now they do not.



\version "2.25.2"
\language "english"


\score {

  \new Staff { b'4   bf'4  as'4 }
  \addlyrics { "B"  "B♭"  "A♯" }

}
