I've worked with multiple byte characters before (with difficulty), and I
think I could help.  The way I dealt with them was to create a list of
characters to recognize.  (For reference:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg68583/example_%284%29.ly)
 The method isn't pretty**

In order for me to help, though, I'll need to see the file that created
your image.  What are the UTF-8 encodings of the special punctuation
characters?

**At one point, I was referred to the functions documented at
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile-gnome/docs/glib/html/Unicode-Manipulation.html#Unicode-Manipulation,
which look like they would ease working with such characters.  However, I
was never able to figure out how to get these functions available to
LilyPond.  Does anyone reading this know how it would be done?

Thanks,
David
