May I ask where you saw this?
It's on the KDP website -- https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A3G4LY8RGZ9SP6 -- which contains a lot of stupid stuff not found in the "official" guidelines. Specifically it says:

"Supported Characters:
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing supports text in the 'Latin-1' (ISO-8859-1) format and all characters in that character set. The only characters from that set not currently supported are: spades, clubs, hearts, up-arrow, down-arrow, alpha, beta, gamma.

"That character set includes the most characters found in western European languages and many associated glyphs such as the 'copyright' mark, superscript (power of two) and German umlauts. You can see a list of all supported characters here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IE...-1#Code_table]. An image showing all those characters can also be seen here [https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....p/Latin1.gif.]"

I know the KDP website is aimed at the lowest common denominator, but you would think at least the Guidelines would be more robust. Page 23 on text is really lame.
