Anyway, words like rōnin or the well known philosopher Slavoj Žižek are hardly so exotic that I cannot expect them to be displayed properly.

It's not really a matter of how "exotic" the words are. I could equally say that the Chinese author "孫子" is sufficiently well-known that my reader should render his name correctly, but if it's not designed for the Chinese market, the characters aren't going to be in its font, and it won't display them. I have to use the transliterated form of his name. "Sun Tzu", instead. Likewise, many reading devices sold for Western European and US markets don't contain the accented letters used in Central European languages.
