My examples we for good old USA english. wit UTF-8 encodings.
Your language code should appear in place of EN .
(you can see similar coding in Firefox or IE: "View source"

If you have a big test coming, now is not the best time to learn (X)HTML
or find how to add a missing font to your reader.
Does any EPUB book render properly with those characters? (PDF has the fonts included, so they might work)
No, it doesn't; the characters are displayed as question marks. I'll see what I can do with Sigil, it may be as simple as fixing the language encoding (I hope; checking Firefox gives me Central European ISO-8859-2 as a possibility.) If it's not, I'll leave it for later. I can find my way around html and css; it's just when I saw the "calibre_0.css" in your example I thought I'd have to fix the css with calibre. I have no idea why. I think with fonts I just need to create a font folder on the SD card and place an appropriate font inside; but that only affects .txt and .doc documents (.docs have tiny text, btw, and have to be zoomed several times to be readable, or I'd use them.) It's also a question of finding a suitable free font.

I have to ask, BV? Sips? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those terms (Sigil-related?).
