The default character encoding of PDFs produced by dompdf is Windows ANSI. 
Character that do not render as expected with the default encoding are probably 
not supported.

About Windows ANSI:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252

Because of the limitations of the default encoding we generally recommend that 
you always configure dompdf for Unicode compatibility and use a non-core font 
(such as one of the DejaVu fonts).

See the following document for information on how to enable Unicode support:
http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/CPDFUnicode

See the following for a sample rendering using DejaVu Sans:

You could also go the route of using the "Symbol" font, Like Windows ANSI it 
uses a 255 character encoding. However, it's harder to work with since it uses 
a custom character mapping. See:
