All html files plus the toc.ncx and content.opf are encoded utf-8:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

Reading the document further and examining the book further I've found that the character is sometimes rendered correctly, sometimes in error. In fact, in Calibre's Ebook viewer, it is rendered correctly more often than not: just 2 errors that I happened to strike upon early.

I am sure you are on to something examining at the internal file level, if not at the style level. At the header level, the html docs are identical except for the <title> declaration.

It's more of a puzzle than an annoyance: works OK across multiple tools, yet 2 errors only in perhaps 20 occurrences in one viewer only.

Thanks for your input.


The two styles where the character is incorrectly rendered:

p.badstyle1 {
	font-family : Georgia, serif;
	font-weight : normal;
	font-style : normal;
	font-size : 1.08em;
	text-decoration : none;
	font-variant : normal;
	line-height : 1.85;
	text-align : left;	 
	text-indent : 0px;
	margin : 0px;
}

p.badstyle2 {
	font-family : Georgia, serif;
	font-weight : normal;
	font-style : normal;
	font-size : 0.85em;
	text-decoration : none;
	font-variant : normal;
	line-height : 1.36;
	text-align : left;
	text-indent: 0px!important
}

Examples of styles where the character is correctly rendered:

p.goodstyle1 {
	font-family : Georgia, serif;
	font-weight : normal;
	font-style : normal;
	font-size : 0.92em;
	text-decoration : none;
	font-variant : normal;
	line-height : 1.36;
	text-align : left;	 
	text-indent : 15px;
	margin : 0px;
}

p.goodstyle2 {
	font-family : Georgia, serif;
	font-weight : normal;
	font-style : normal;
	font-size : 0.92em;
	text-decoration : none;
	font-variant : normal;
	line-height : 1.36;
	text-align : left;	 
	text-indent : 15px;
	margin : 8px 0px 0px 0px;
