I was thinking of creating a test "book" with every character in it, to see which ones work and which ones don't. (Has anyone done that already?)

I have a handful of books that use inline graphics for some foreign characters. You can see it in the click to view sample of The City & the City by China Mieville on Amazon - it's the accented Z in Beszel. That's not an ideal solution, since the graphics can only be one size, and the surrounding text can be whatever size I want.

I'm not really sure whether the accented graphics are conversion artifacts (the other book I had this with was converted by me from an epub), lowest-common-denominator (I believe the original Kindle had an inferior character set), or if the readers or ebook formats really can't do them.
