So, if neither of the ;-commented out lines below work, what do I do?

\paper {
  #(include-special-characters)

  #(add-text-replacements!
    '(
      ("100" . "hundred")
      ("dpi" . "dots per inch")
      ;(":a" . "\u00E4" )
      ;(":b" . "\x00\xE4" )
      ;(":c" . (list->string (\x00 \xE4)) )
      ;(":d" . $ \markup \char ##x00E4 $ )
    ))
}
