What is the preferred way to pass an if conditional when using pandoc to 
write the file? I can make the following code work with etoolbox in 
LuaLaTeX, but the first line is missing the special unicode characters 
after going through pandoc, which I assume means I cannot use etoolbox 
conditionals?

%!TEX TS-program = LuaLaTeX
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt] {article}%

\usepackage{fontspec}%
\usepackage{etoolbox}%
\setmainfont{Brill}

\renewcommand{\d}[1]{%
  \ifstrequal{#1}{h}{ḥ}{%
    \ifstrequal{#1}{\v{C}}{Č̣}{}}}
  
\renewcommand{\=}[1]{%
  \ifstrequal{#1}{a}{ä}{}%
  }
