Hello, Patricia,
I'm a bit of a linguistics buff and have encountered this problem
myself. Have you tried switching the language jaws is reading in?
That sometimes works for me. Do you use refreshable braille? If so,
sometimes, changing the braille translation table works for a few
symbols like thorn, eth, and esh. I wish I could be more helpful than
that.
Bonne Chance avec votre classe,
Alex
