Some characters missing...?

Hello everyone,

(Apologies beforehand if this isn't the right place.
I did try to find a way to send a private message, but...)

Anyhow, I did the typical epub to kfx conversion through calibre.
The output is as neat as always - for which I am grateful.
However, certain characters didn't come through...?
In the UTF-8 set these characters are called "box drawings", e.g. ╕

Now, I'm testing the output kfx file in an Android, in the Kindle app.
Other apps in the device render the base epub file fine.
Did an 'Amazon send to kindle' of the epub original file.
Their output, across all Kindle devices - the app included - renders the characters fine.

Hence, it seems the issue is indeed limited with the kfx output file...?
Can anyone shed some light here, please?

Still, many, many thanks Mr jhowell - this plugin helps loads.

Cheers,
Jules.
