My Kobo device cannot display these characters and either skips them, shows placeholder glyphs or shows an empty line where the text should be.

Does Calibre offer any built-in tools or plugins to convert it to a readable version?

Thanks in advance for your help!

p.s. i'm rather new to all of this
Can you please post a code sample of the HTML and CSS?

Are you using KePub or ePub?

Thanks.
