What do you mean by randomly? Are some characters replaced with questions marks, or are the question marks just inserted between them?
The former would be a problem with Adobe Digital Editions (a version of which is on the Reader) not having the required fonts to display these characters. For instance, characters like "šđžćč" will be displayed as "?????" in ADE if you didn't include the fonts for these characters in your epub. Both Calibre and Sigil perform font substitution from other fonts on the computer if the current font can't display some of these characters.
If it's the latter, then I think it's because your original file has
soft hyphens. I believe ADE doesn't handle those. So just remove these soft hyphens from your file and the question marks will go away.
