Hi All,

Glad to find this forum--looks like a lot of valuable info.

With my first foray into creating an epub, I've encountered a situation where the epub readers I'm using (ADE and Nook) don't recognize a couple of named entities found in Eastern European languages: &ccaron; (č) and &rcaron; (ř). I get a question mark -- though they do recognize &scaron; (š). Any idea why? I tried the number codes, also with no luck. The correct symbols appear in Kindle, so I'm wondering if this is a problem with the epub spec, or if there's a workaround.

Thanks.
