I'm creating a Kindle eBook file that's a translation of Sanskrit texts to English. The text uses a number of letters with diacritical marks, all of which are standard Unicode characters.
When I create a Kindle .mobi file, the file passes validation, displays correctly in Amazon's Kindle Previewer, and works fine on Kindle devices and on the Mac Kindle software.
However, the diacritic marks do not appear on the Windows Kindle reader. And *only* on the Windows Kindle reader. Characters such as "ḍ" (d with a dot under it) appear as boxes.
I'm completely stumped. The file is not using any special or unusual fonts, and like I said, it passes validation just fine. It's only Windows that's giving me grief. Any ideas?
