LyX cares for this and translates the vast amount of the "not set up"- characters to LaTeX commands and also loads the required packages. However, this only works for text you type in LyX, not for inclusions like bibtex files. I.e. you need to translate the dingbats to latex commands yourself, either by, e.g., looking into the exported LaTeX (view source) and copying the counterpart of ① (etc), or by running the bib file through a utf8 -> LaTeX converter.
