Note that you can use "×" and "÷" symbols in lyx too, if you use "insert->math panel"
and select them from the symbol set called "operators".
If you redefined your keyboard layout, so that you are able to insert them directly, use the following preamble line
\DeclareInputText{215}{\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi}This enables switching between math operator and text char, so that you can enter the × sign in math and text without problems.
The ÷ doesn't need a special declaration, because LyX sets automatically \ensuremath{÷}, when entering the char in text.
