Okay! Here is what I had to do to correct the special character encoding issue:
Use 7zip and copy all html files to my desktop. Load all those files into Notepad++. Do a Replace in All Open files of "charset=iso-8859-1" with "charset=UTF-8". Save all the files and drap back to 7zip.

None of this is necessary, of course, unless I want to use the epubmerge.py script. I can easily edit the css file using 7zip and Notepad++ to change the margins and the justification. As Jon pointed out, this is a lot of work just to create an omnibus when it would make just as much sense to keep them all separate. :0

Thanks so much to everyone who has given me so much of their time and expertise to walk me through all of this mess. Hopefully, this thread will help others who are struggling with epub formatting issues.
