Hi Andrey, The general answer for LaTeX is here:
http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latexocs.php and here: http://www.christopherculver.com/en/computing/latex.php I'll leave it to people who know how the encoding works in LyX, since that can be tricky. The other problem is that Unicode fonts do not automatically work in LyX--it can only render symbols it knows about. Whatever you discover, we should add some instructions on the LinguistLyX page (http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LinguistLyX).
