For the epub, it wasn't displayed with any of the the supplied fonts other than the two added for Japanese support. These are "Kobo Tsukushi Mincho" and "Kobo UD Kakugo". Unfortunately, these don't show italics or bold when used with epubs. I did have a version of Bookerly on the device. This displayed the arrow.

For the kepub, the rightwards double arrow was displayed for all fonts in the kepub. For most, it was falling through to another for support. I assume this is one of the two fonts above.
Thank you! I downloaded Bookerly and Amazon Ember (they were zipped together) and Bookerly displayed the ⇒ correctly. Interestingly, Ember didn't.

I haven't tried MS Arial yet (Bookerly is serifed which is what I prefer for reading).

Thank you all! This was a weird issue that I never encountered before. I wonder if I ever missed any other characters in so many books I read on this device... hmmm.
