what i posted was obtained by view source ( a right click option within the displayed CHM page ) - copy - paste to thread
so should be an accurate reproduction of what is in the .chm source.

I buy in to the idea that it is actually an en-dash. it looks like one and it explains what I see on Kindle - Kindle does not do en-dash so it does the quesionmark in a box substitution.

that leaves us with the question of why calibre chm to epub conversion is discarding an en-dash ?. I don't know how to build a simple test .chm.

maybe its a bug which is specific to .chm sources. if it occurred with, say, html source, it would surely have been noticed and reported on already.
