This is because of the fact that the fonts only contain the "necessary" characters to save space. There isn't really enough space on the PineTime's internal storage to store all the extra characters you could ever need, so it's kept to a minimum.

You can either use your companion app's transliteration feature (if it has one) to turn those characters into standard ASCII, or you could make your own build of InfiniTime with the characters that you need added. This can be done by following the build instructions and modifying the fonts.conf file in src/displayapp/fonts/ to include the code points for the characters you want.
