Seems that some readers can't show the unicode normal characters with combining diacritical marks (unicode 0300 to ¿036f?)

Is there a way to convert this combined characters into unique characters?

I mean about combined characters like these: "A`" (unicode 0041+0300) convert to "À" (unicode 00C0)
and so on with other symbols like "o~" (unicode 006F+0303) to "õ" (unicode 00F5),"c," to "ç" "n~" to "ñ"... etc.

If I try to see those characters, (sending epub with Calibre with conversion), the sony350 shows the "¿?", and in kindle3 shows the character normal "o" instead of "õ"... I don't know if it happens the same with other e-readers.

I don't know if there is an option, or whatever like that in Calibre that I didn't see, or if is there some other app. to do that.

Thanks in advance.
