However, the fonts used to display the book on the device may not have support for all of them, so the safest way would be to use a small image.
Images seem to offer pitfalls. Marshall did a markup of my Neptune Crossing in EPUB, taking great care to duplicate the look of the print book. It looks fabulous on the Sony and in ADE. But (I just discovered) it is essentially unviewable in the Calibre Viewer. On my wife's iTouch with Stanza, it's perfectly readable, but the images are way out of proportion to the text. I take this as a warning.

I'll probably use an entity and hope.
