  Actually they're not that readily available. 

Really?  The only times I've tried to use PC wordprocessors, special
and foreign characters required clicking on menues or copying
characters from a clipboard.  With LyX, those characters are as simple
as typing <compose> c 0 for © or <compose> r 0 for ®.  [These
sequences are automatically configured on Solaris-Sparc keyboards and
probably readily available with other Unixes or Linux, depending on
the X-server implementation in use.]
