The Kobo fonts on device are encrypted so the quick answer is no.

I'd suggest you look into a font that supports the glyphs you need and embed it in the ebook. This can be a cost item depending on which font you choose.

The easiest way for you to test on a Kobo would be to create a test epub with your needed glyphs and then view it on your Kobo changing fonts to see which are supported.

I've attached a sample epub which I use for various purposes. The first section displays various characters that some books I read make use of. I've added the characters with a combining dot below to the ones displayed. Note that dot below and combining dot below are different. A quick test with the attached epub in my KA1 shows that Charis SIL supports the combining dot below glyphs that are included ( I use the modified ChareInk version which has increased weight).

Edit: One reason for suggesting Charis SIL is that it, as far as I know, is free to use and distribute.
