The Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines has sample html/css to produce a single letter drop cap, but there is no mention of special cases such as a paragraph that does not begin with a letter.

The KFX handling for drop caps has only two parameters: how many leading characters to include and how many lines high to make it. There is no allowance for different formatting being applied to initial punctuation characters.

Looking at the example posted in this thread the single letter case is being treated as a drop cap, but the m-dash plus letter is not being treated as a drop cap because different styling is being applied to the punctuation.

I don't think that there is any good work around for this.
