Thanks for the inputs.

ilovejedd:
I realize this is most probably not a Calibre problem. I just didn't know where to post my question.

theducks:
Specifying utf-8 in Calibre's Input character encoding box fixed the problem during epub > epub conversion. That's a lot easier than search & replace.

While comparing two books, one with the character problem and one without, I couldn't find any differences. Both had utf-8 specified in the opf file, and neither specified a code page in the text.

I'm still curious, but not prepared to pursue it further since I have a workable solution.

Thanks again.
