The Reader LRF renderer actually has a different set of default fonts than the Reader AdobeDE EPUB renderer. It's possible that the glyph complement of the LRF default fonts cover the the codepoints you're using while the EPUB set does not. Could you post or link to an example source document?

Ah. UTF-16 actually uses 2 bytes for characters in the basic multilingual plane and 4 bytes for characters which are not. You must be thinking of UTF-32? Either way, what benefit do you perceive?
