With LyX 2, using XeTeX will become far more easy: 

* GUI to select output document font from the system fonts,
  (front end to the fontenc package)
* no need to manually remove babel or fontenc calls.

This line must be removed too (inside LyX, this can be achieved by setting
"TeX-encoding" to OT1).

Instead of "raw" XeTeX font commands, the fontspec package can be used
in the preamble. http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec

It also allows to use different fonts for different scripts (Unicode
ranges), see http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/fontspec.pdf

As long as you know the script, you can always use an utility such as
Gucharmap to copy/paste the letters. In this case it would make sense
to use XeTeX (coming in 2.0), for its Unicode support.

I'm completely unfamiliar with this script myself, but here seem to be some
