Unicode character not displayed in Jasper Report

Question

I want to display character \u0141 i.e the 'L' with a stroke. I have appended this unicode to the field to be displayed in the report & it displays fine in the Ireport preview PDF. But when I generate the same report from my web application it displays blank i.e the character is not displayed in the pdf. I'm using Jasper 3.5.3.

Answer 1

1. Set Pdf Encoding to Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)
2. Set Pdf Embedded to checked

If you are using the PHP-Java Bridge, then you will also have to:

1. Make sure the encoding is set to ISO-8859-1
2. java_set_file_encoding('ISO-8859-1');
