From ADE and Calibre's viewer the character is displayed correctly, however on either my Mini or Touch the character appears as a big outlined box, even using the default font setting.
Does Kobo's built in font set not cover all the characters? (Granted I doubt if this particular character gets much use at all)?  |
The built in fonts have rather poor coverage for non-standard characters. If you want better coverage, I'd suggest either Charis SIL, Linux Libertine or DejaVu Serif. There are other choices as well if you want even more unicode glyph coverage. Code2000 is the font I use for those situations.
See the modified fonts sticky for more information.
I did some quick testing. None of the Kobo's builtin fonts would display yogh though Gothic and Ryumin would display a lower case ezh. Both Charis SIL and Linux Libertine displayed yogh and ezh as did the DejaVu font family. Code2000 displayed both as well but sadly, it's not the best looking font and lacks the italic/bold/bold italic variants.
