inlinemediaobject is also allowed. This allows an
author to provide a graphic for a character or glyph—for example, one
that is not available in the publisher’s fonts or perhaps is not
available in Unicode. Authors should exercise care when using
inlinemediaobject for this purpose as graphics may be
difficult or impossible to display in some contexts on some presentation
systems.

remaining objects if the primary one cannot be used.
