AFAIK, the Kindle for PC app doesn't use the same fonts that Kindle Previewer uses and might display some letters as boxes.
Depending on how you coded the d with a dot below, you could try the following:
1. If you used a pre-combined letter (
U+1E0D), try to code it as a regular d followed by combining dot below (
U+0323).
2. If you used a d followed by a combining dot below try a precombined letter.
If none of my suggestions makes a difference, you or your readers will need to fiddle with the Windows system fonts. The Kindle uses an old shareware font, code2000.ttf, for all characters not present in the default system fonts. This font is located in the \AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle Previewer\lib folder, which you can access by copying and pasting the following path in the Windows Run dialog box:
Code:
"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Amazon\Kindle Previewer\lib"
If you install this font (or another font that contains the combining dot below or the small letter d with dot below characters) you should see a d with a dot below regardless of the encoding method.
