What you should do first is to make sure that Lucida Grande really contains the characters. Visibility in a text editor is not a good proof. Font rendering engines usually work in such a way that if a character is not present in the current font, they render it using a replacement font. The idea is that a reasonable character in a reasonable font must always be displayed. However, Xe(La)TeX does not do that. If a character is missing, it is treated as a missing character exactly as in the original 8-bit TeX. You should display the character map by some application and verify existence. You can use fontforge. If you use gucharmap, you have to right-click to the character in order to find which font was used for rendering it.
Hope this hepls.
