Are you converting HTML to PDF? If so, you should note that, otherwise never mind. The only reason I ask is that your last comment about getting æ
makes me think that. If you are, check out this post:
iTextSharp 5 polish character
Also, sometimes when people say "Unicode" what they're really trying to do is to get symbols like Wingdings into a PDF. If you mean that check out this post and know that Unicode and Wingding Symbols really aren't related at all. Unicode symbols in iTextSharp
Here's a complete working example that uses two ways to write Unicode characters, one using the character itself and one using the C# escape sequence. Make sure to save your file in a format that supports wide characters. This sample uses iTextSharp 5.0.5.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create our document object
Document Doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
//Create our file stream
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "Test.pdf"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read))
{
//Bind PDF writer to document and stream
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(Doc, fs);
//Open document for writing
Doc.Open();
//Add a page
Doc.NewPage();
//Full path to the Unicode Arial file
string ARIALUNI_TFF = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Fonts), "ARIALUNI.TTF");
//Create a base font object making sure to specify IDENTITY-H
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(ARIALUNI_TFF, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
//Create a specific font object
Font f = new Font(bf, 12, Font.NORMAL);
//Write some text, the last character is 0x0278 - LATIN SMALL LETTER PHI
Doc.Add(new Phrase("This is a test ?", f));
//Write some more text, the last character is 0x0682 - ARABIC LETTER HAH WITH TWO DOTS VERTICAL ABOVE
Doc.Add(new Phrase("Hellou0682", f));
//Close the PDF
Doc.Close();
}
}
}
}
When working with iTextSharp you have to make sure that you're using a font that supports the Unicode code points that you want to use. You also need to specify IDENTITY-H
when using your font. I don't completely know what it means but there's some talk about it here: iTextSharp international text
