Got it! I can replace the ''A" in my "Aa" with Greek alpha (or with Russian 'A') and it works perfectly, with the minor exception that the non English characters look as if they have come from a different font. But I can live with that, I think it's the best solution possible.

These are not punctuation marks, but a bit of experimentation suggests that any Greek character, upper or lower case, will serve. I trust this helps.
