Most probably because the original file used it. However, in this case the question is, how the non-translable Unicode character came into the file: * Does tex2lyx do "reverse engineering" of LaTeX commands to unicode characters? * or, maybe the OP did insert it after the conversion to LyX? A minimal example file would help. Günter
