Presumably you've added these yourself? They're not in any of the .bind 
files that come with LyX as far as I can see. Rather than copy these as 
shortcuts, I've added

     Item "§" "unicode-insert 0x00A7"
     Item "¶" "unicode-insert 0x00B6"

to the documentation toolbar in my personal copy of stdtoolbars.inc. I 
won't have to remember the shortcuts that way. Thanks,

Andrew
