I'm currently converting one of my books (as in, a book I wrote) into the ePub format and I noticed something odd. At the very end of the text, I added a small copyright notice (font-size: xx-small), but it wasn't showing up. So after some fiddling, I found that the Kobo seems to hide any and all text after a © symbol. I made some sample paragraphs around the copyright paragraph, and found that the word "copyright" won't trigger this, but once it's triggered, it hides paragraphs that follow as well.

I'm just wondering, does anyone know if this behavior is intentional? Or have I stumbled on some kind of weird bug?

[edit]: Okay, further testing. It seems it doesn't do it if I directly insert the "©" symbol rather than the escape code... Odd.
