Checkbox character in iText
itext, java
Solution
You have to use a font and encoding that contains those characters. Your best bet is to use IDENTITY_H for your encoding, as this grants you access to every character within a given font:
`Font font = FontFactory.getFont(f.getName(),BaseFont.IDENTITY_H);`
but you still have to use the right font. This link could prove to be of help to you too
EDIT:
I also see different `Font`s use different conversion codes/sequences:
Use a corresponding character in a different font. For instance in Wingdings.ttf you have 0x6F and 0x70
Problem
I am trying to insert a checkbox character into my pdf like this : ``` Phrase phrase = new Phrase("\u2610 somemoretext", somefont); ``` The "somemoretext"-portion of the String is beeing displayed correctly, the checkbox character isn´t. Do i have to use something specific as a Font for this character, or what else could I be doing wrong?
