If not, try setting the "LaTeX encoding" to ASCII instead of utf8 - then LyX will translate the Unicodesymbols to a LaTeX command. BTW: despite LyX telling you otherwise, setting the "LaTeX encoding" to utf8 almost never helps: LyX Unicode->TeX conversion is more comprehensive than the standard inputenc utf8 mappings. - If no, you can customize the "unicodesymbols" file. Copy it to your "LyX userdir" (~/.lyx on Unix) and add the missing definitions (if you found some in http://mirror.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf. ) * If you keep the "LaTeX encoding" at utf8, you can also add the missing definitions in the LaTeX preamble similar to e.g. \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00A8}{\textasciidieresis} % ¨ Günter
