Have you tried specifying the characters (when possible) using html entities? Mobipocket is based on HTML, and the oddball characters tend to work better when translated into HTML entities, rather than just leaving the characters as is. Also, when you convert, make sure to change the encoding to UTF-8, instead of the default, which is, I believe, Windows 1252.
