Correct. If it's mapped to a reasonably usable punctuation mark it can look OK. If its mapped to a Latin1 alpha character or a numeral then it could be ugly and confusing.

Before using an embedded font you should consider what the book will look like if the reader fails to use the embedded font and falls back to one of its default fonts and you should expect the default fonts to contain anything other than the basic Latin1 glyphs.
