Andrey,
One possible solution is the following:
1. Try to locate the unicodesymbols file (it's in the LyX's lib/resource
directory, but I'm not sure where this is on Ubuntu).
2. Add a line line
0x0462 "\\textcyr{\\char176}" "textcyr" "" # CYRILLIC HISTORIC SMALL
LETTER YAT
to this file after the line:
0x045f "\\textcyr{\\char182}" "textcyr" "" # CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER
DZHE
3. In LyX:
Insert->Special Character->Symbols, Category=Cyrillic.
At the end of the list of symbols shown, there will be a square. This is
your Yat character. If you insert this character in your document it
will be outputted correctly as the yat (although it will look like a
square in LyX).
Alternatively, you can enter in the command buffer: "unicode-insert
0462" and probably it will work too when using the Character Map.
Does this work ?
