It doesn't skip them, although it's prone to reading them as hyphens. I thought I remembered FR reading emdashes, though. It might catch some and not others.

It reads section symbols (§) but not paragraph symbols (¶). Paragraph symbols tend to be read as either "ff" or "fl." (I OCR a lot of legal documents; court rulings like to use § and ¶.) It's good with hyphenated words at the ends of lines. It's awful with poetry--the text is accurate, but where it puts hard & soft returns is weird.

It will indeed assign variable font sizes, so one page is 10.93 pt, and the next is 11.02 pt. Also, it sets the leading at a specific point level, rather than "single spaced" or "double spaced."
