OK. I'll have a detailed look at what the PDF coding looks like.
Can you send me your PDF please.

Sure.
It is your job as author to decide what your readers should get.
If you want them to get "Louis XIV" then no /ActualText is required.
*unless* that X I and V are really: U+2169 U+2160 U+2164 .
In that case you may want the /ActualText to replace with "XIV" so that
your readers don't end up with the undefined character symbol.
Or maybe you want them to get "Louis quatorze".
Probably you do want a screen reader to say "Louis quatorze",
but then you'll want to test that AR reads it correctly
--- maybe /Alt(Louie katorze) will be better.
This kind of stuff adds a whole new dimension to typesetting.
