In xdvi, you enter the number of page you want, and then press 'g'.

Thanks. It works :-)
I had expected though, the R in a circle being slightly smaller and 
higher than the rest. E.g. like the \textrademark or a footnote.

As well I was succesfull via copy-paste:
Opening either the (exported) TeX file or the LyX file in a text editor, 
doing a copy-paste there from another text file that contains the symbol 
I want (i.e.\textregistered) and reimporting (reloading respectively) 
the TeX file into LyX afterwords. In that case it's displayed correctly 
in LyX as well.
Once I have the symbol in my LyX file I can do a copy-paste within LyX 
as well.

So I reckon, as long as I know how to insert the symbol in my text 
editor, I could use the same key-sequence (whatsoever?) within LyX, too. 
Any suggestions?

the display was xdvi (didn't think about it at all) so I didn't read the man

You need to set up a compose key (or figure out what it is already set

Changing the viewer can be done in the 'Format' dialog.  However,
xdvi is just fine, and typing 57g there will take you to page 57.
The command 'g' is explained at line ~650 of the xdvi man page.
