I am converting an ePub I created to .mobi using "Kindle Previewer", and using "Send to Kindle" app to test the file. The title of my book uses a question mark (Are You Ready?), and when I convert the file the question mark becomes and underscore (Are You Ready_). I also tried converting using Calibre and the same thing happened.

I've tracked the issue to the <dc:title> in the content.opf (if I delete the question mark here but leave it everywhere else I use the title, there is no underscore). I have kindle books with question marks in the title, so I assume there is a way to convert the file so the question mark comes through correctly, I just can't figure out how.
