Special characters and conversion

Dear friends,

I have a problem with converting a book (from docx to epub)

The book in question contains some words in the ancient Indian language Pali, which have a few special characters that are difficult to get properly displayed. Some examples of the characters in question are these:

When I view the epub in my e-reader (Kobo Clara 2E) each of these characters are simpy ignored and words are "merged together". For example: the word tomato would turn into toato. Strangely enough, when I open the file on the Calibre ebook reader, it works fine. It is only when I use the Kobo that it malfunctions.

I have some other books on the Kobo, where these characters display very fine, so I know that it is not beyond the capabilities of the device in itself.

Would be very grateful for any advice on this!
