I do have a question about what fonts I should be using that will ensure the various e-readers will be able to produce such letters instead of inserting an empty box if they are not available in the reader. I need both a serif and a sans-serif font for this manuscript. The Apache parts will use the sans-serif font. Is it best to try to embed the fonts or to specify in the code serif or sans-serif and hope for the best?
Thanks.

At the moment not all accented words will be found, at the moment only vowels as used in (western) European languages. So, no ñ of ç for example. The example in Apache language as you specified will not come up.
I can add those to the checklist of course and I will do so. I have created an
issue for this. If you want, you can add more characters to this list.
The currently checked characters are in
this list.
Now with regards to your other question. Most readers support the Latin and often the Extended Latin characters. Eastern European characters, Greek and Cyrillic can be hit and miss as far as I know.
So, if you have other characters, you would be best of by including a font to your ePUB and specify the usage of those fonts where needed. So, if you want text to render in a font that supports Apache, add the font and ensure that the text use that font.
