Mats, I think I figured it out, sort off. The Maltese cross character (U+2720) is part of the dingbats unicode code block. On a windows XP machine this character is part of the Wingdings font family. The Wingdings fonts do not have unicode definitions. So Lilypond gets confused and Jedit gets confused. Thanks for your help.
