Hmmm, thanks so much for this Kovid. Maybe here is the problem:
I'm using a mac and when I convert your html code above into a mobi format I get the following result:

Mac OS X 2yTATTReOBTcom.apple.TextEncodingutf-8;134217984

That's the only text in the book! Same as if I convert to ePub.

I took your text, put it in a text file, compressed it using Mac's Finder thus to get a .zip file. Then converted it from ZIP to MOBI with default input profile and output Kindle. Using Debug, the html in the input folder looks as expected, but the above text Encoding statement appears in the Processed folder.

This is the same whether or not I choose 'Transliterate unicode characters into Ascii' in the Look and Feel tab of the conversion process.

As far as I know, I do not have any unusual character encoding settings on this mac.

Perhaps this can shed a light on the issue?

Thanks for your help.
