However, the kepubs on the H2O can't display special characters like the euro and pound symbols, regardless of the font used like Kobo Mincho or Kakugo. The special characters are simply not sent through the conversion process.

But if I unzip the text files and import them as such, simple txt files, to my calibre library and send them to my H2O as txt files, the characters are perfectly readable. The problems with this are:

-the 1% txt file reading bug
-changing fonts on the txt file takes you back to the beginning of the reading material
-general lack of refinements in txt files relative to epub and kepub
-the mass operations I would have to do to unzip my files

I have the kepub output, kobo utilities, and kobotouchextended plugins - all updated to the latest versions.

Any suggestions?
Hmmm... is the output epub file using UTF8?
