As Ken said, it is probably glyphs missing from the font you are using. From memory, Gothic and Ryumin are the most complete of the supplied fonts. Otherwise, you can add your own font. There has been plenty of discussion on alternate fonts, including https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=204363.

Also, fonts are handled a little differently for kepubs than epubs. The kepub renderer handles missing glyphs differently. Sideloading as a kepub might work better with the other fonts.

A little later...

I have a test book from someone here that has various glyphs in it. I added these to it. As I expected, Gothic and Ryumin have the glyphs. The others don't. The kepub version worked but the glyphs were in different fonts to the rest of the text. I assume it uses either Gothic or Ryumin for anything the selected font can't display.
