To "convert" (or translate) the "TeX macros" into Unicode you need to  
choose from particular "font features," at least this basic one:  
Mapping=tex-text. Second step is load the font you wish:

	\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
	\usepackage{xunicode, fontspec}
	\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
	\setromanfont{LM Roman 10pt}
	
	\begin{document}
	  À«--»Ï»---«Á
	\end{document}
	
	
	\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
	\usepackage{xunicode, fontspec}
	\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
	\setmainfont{LM Roman 10pt}
	
	\begin{document}
	  À«--»Ï»---«Á
	\end{document}


You can "unite" both steps:

	\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
	\usepackage{xunicode, fontspec}
	\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{LM Roman 10pt}
	
	\begin{document}
	  À«--»Ï»---«Á
	\end{document}
	
	
	\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
	\usepackage{xunicode, fontspec}
	\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{LM Roman 10pt}
	
	\begin{document}
	  À«--»Ï»---«Á
	\end{document}
