While the epub standard does specify UTF-8 (or UTF-16) encoding, the issue I've seen is where the font being used does not support a glyph and the renderer does not substitute the glyph from another font. A tofu character instead of a checkmark might irritate some users.
The standard first line in an epub text file is:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
I'm assuming that you are using either & # 10004; or & # x2714; for the character (MobileRead has issues with displaying special characters so I placed a couple of spaces inside the entities). Sigil will change those numeric entities to the character entity since epub3 by default only allows 5 numeric entities.
