Steve:

I thought there was an easy answer for this question but I am not sure,
there maybe a bug in RenderX.  How are you encoding the character?  I
did a quick test just to make sure I would give you the right answer.

What I found is that the UNICODE character entity (Å) creates the
character when using the <rx:bookmark> construct but not in the body.

However, the binary UNICODE character gets represented in both both fonts,
as does the ASCII character entity (&#197;).

I tried an experiment with 3 character encodings.  The input is:

&#x212B;-&#8491;-&#197;

The resulting FO file shows:

&#8491;-&#8491;-Å

In the PDF bookmark all three characters show as  Å but only the &#197
character gets represented in the PDF file.

Interesting!
