The characters don't show up in my newsreader (Gnus) so I'm not sure
what you can't do. From keycaps on an English keyboard they are the
double-dagger, degree symbol and midline dot. The preamble is not a
LyX buffer, and in the case of LyX/Mac it is managed directly by the
Qt library, which is why the Mac Cmd-c, Cmd-x, and Cmd-v keys work in
the preamble and some combination keystrokes do not work there.
Why do you want to insert those characters into the preamble?
