With Epub (on Kobo,) if a book is using any characters or glyphs not included in your reading font, those characters are ignored. (you don't even see the classic blank square to even know there is something missing there.)
Kobo did try that a while ago. Unfortunately, the way that the RMSDK loads the fonts to be able to do the fallback was absurdly inefficient and caused huge performance issues. They backed it out very quickly.
