I did try this as well but got the same problem.
I just upgraded to 1.4 and the copy/paste seems to work better (the
quotes come in as "\u2013") but the accented characters are now imported ok.

I hope someone can help me. I am trying to import a text file that
contains German accented characters. The file is saved in UTF-8 format.
How do I do this? If I use the import ASCII the accented characters
appear as two junk characters. However, I can type the characters on the
keyboard and they are displayed no problem. I just don't feel like
typing in a 100 page German document by hand! There must be a way to get
this text file into Lyx isn't there?
Just an idea, Nicholas: use copy and paste, previously selecting the
whole text document.
