I don't have an answer, but it's probably a "Windows" problem. What typefaces does Adobe have/recognize? Is the typeface in the Adobe document identical to the typeface used in the web page? Can you get them identical with a setting somewhere? If the typeface that Adobe has used as a "substitute" for the typeface used in creating the original web page doesn't have the diacriticals in its stable of characters, then the problem you describe is likely to occur. I.e., don't try to import individual characters, try to import a typeface that has the necessary individual characters in its character set. You not only have to import the graphic of the required character, but you would have to assign the correct Unicode value to it.
