BTW, the epub standard requires an epub to use either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding though I've only seen 2 epubs that used UTF-16.

One other item is that calibre's ebook-viewer is chromium based and like most web browsers tends to hide many errors. It is not a good test bed for how an epub will display on an eInk reader or most apps.
I have searched for a Modify EPUB plugin. I have looked around in Calibre. I know what you are saying. But I cannot figure out how to do it. For those of us, like me, who are not so tech savvy, would you please provide a simple step by step for how to get to Modify EPUB and mark the file as using UTF-8. That would be much appreciated.
