I suspect the probem is in zxreader, but seeing the above I am not sure.

There might be a way that you can test it. The UTF-8 coding has a lot of character codes and your font may not support all of them correctly. FB2 is actually just a text file with XML markup codes. To test, you could load the FB2 file into a text editor like NotePad++ using the same font that your device is using and see how the characters are displayed in the text editor. If the font can not display the characters there, then you can assume your problem is in the font's ability to display the required UTF-8 characters. IF your language is English then the ANSI character set is much smaller and should display correctly with most any font, but you will be missing some more advanced character formatting.
While you are in the FB2 file with a text editor you can also see what a mess Calibre makes of following the FB2 Schema.
