When I compile a simple LyX-document with symbol U+0361  (Combining Double Inverted Breve) and the default fonts (LM), the result are error messages "Missing glyphs" and  "Missing character: There is no ͡ (U+0361) in font [lmroman10-regular]:+tlig;!". But with a font such as Calibri, which has an extensive set of Unicode glyphs, it compiles into a correct pdf. 
So perhaps it is useful to check whether the font that is actually used, contains the required symbols.
