If a book uses a Unicode character or symbol that is not in the standard font you are reading with, the Kepub reader will try to pick another font that *does*. The epub reader simply won't, and will just not display those characters.. (It doesn't even show an obvious placeholder, so you might not even know there is something missing while reading.) As it happens, I have had many books affected by this.
The solution to the glyph issue is to install at least one glyph heavy font such as ChareInk and if you do come across a missing glyph, switch the font.
