I have read that, but didn't find any help. The input file, HTML, is in ANSI. I work on it with a rather old and simple text-editor which doesn't handle anything else. That is why I'm using the &#x....; forms and things like € and &fnof;.

I'm going to post two HTML files which contain all the characters which I am currently using, although I may need more in the future.

I have been unable to find a combination of properties which will yield e-books (epub, mobi, or azw3) that correspond to the text that is displayed in my (FireFox) browser. I have found that when I import them as HTML (not ZIPed) they mostly display correctly in the Calibre viewer. I have used black rectangles for undefined characters and control characters.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Perhaps just load the HTML onto the Kindle?
