If you use some locale encoding (e.g. iso-8859 a.k.a. latin1) then you'll
be able to input characters like ß using your compose key (compose-ss) or

(0xDF I believe) and will be shown on screen correctly.
Of course, if you change your locale encoding to, say ISO-8859-5,
cyrillic, then the (0xDF) character will be displayed on screen as
something very different to an es-zett. That is, your file is not
portable. Different people around the world will see different things.
Really? I always thought that the encoding of a LyX document was determined
by the document language,
Of course you are correct. I guess I was thinking about more general
problems where the encoding is not stored.
