It would help to see the original HTML, but I suspect you are either missing a 
declaration of the character encoding or have not loaded a compatible font into 
dompdf. To ensure you meet all the requirements of proper encoding see the 
following document: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/CPDFUnicode
