It appears there are some Unicode characters that simply aren't present in the font that Kindle for Windows uses, and there's no way around that other than using a different font.

My version of Charis SIL that I linked you to is very good for a Kindle. It solves the KF8 line height problem. Also, it's had weight added so it looks good with eInk. Plus, it also has all of the various symbols and stuff that you'll need. And with ePUBOptimizer from Toxaris, you can seubset it and it take a lot less space.
