%==============
{ c' }
\addlyrics { \markup {"a" #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2014))"b"}}
\addlyrics { \markup {"a — b"}} %copy and past from character table
%=============

look  http://www.unicode.org/charts/
and the punctuation
http://www.unicode.org/charts/symbols.html

If you save your file in utf-8, you could use your keyboard.
(For win OS.)
Open your character table, select Unicode character, and look at the right corner the sequence key to obtain a specially character.
Example : atlt + 0191; to get : ¿
or copy and past 中 in your editor;

utf-8 support editor: notepad, Jedit (with LilypondTool),
Crimson Editor, scintilla,
most simple (but simple) notepad2 http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
