Handle special chars

[vespino]

I’m trying to add the following name to a PDF: Fēnix, it is however displayed as F?nix probably due to incorrect encoding. My input is UTF8. What should I convert it to?

Edit: I just did a test with mPDF with almost the same HTML and this shows Fēnix as Fēnix.

The following shows Fenix in the PDF:

$html2pdf=new Html2Pdf('P', 'A4', 'nl');
$html2pdf->writeHTML('Fēnix');
$html2pdf->output();

When getting the name from my database, it's shown as F?nix.

The solution is to apply a UTF-8 font to all elements.

* { font-family:freeserif; }
