I'm using iText7 with Arial as font. Now Chinese and other Unicode characters should be entered mixed in address fields.
However, the Unicode characters disappear. I thought Arial was Unicode aware?
Only the top and bottom rows are copied, not so the middle row.
How can I add similar to Word or Excel?
cell test = new Cell().SetFont(font).SetFontSize(8).SetBold();
test.Add(new Paragraph("Top line");
test.Add(new Paragraph("中心部分");
test.Add(new Paragraph("Completion");```

I came across a piece of text that displays in a mystery font even when you view source in plain text: 𝓦𝓸𝓸𝓭
The word 'Wood' above appears, at least in Chrome, as a sort of caligraphic font when pasted in to Notepad or even the Google search bar.
Have tried to see if its base64 encoded characters, or quoted printable etc
𝓦𝓸𝓸𝓭
Can anyone identify how its done? Can it be done with a different font? Is it cross browser compatible?
Those characters are not being shown in a different font. They're in the same font as the rest of the page source.
The reason why they look strange is that they are not the ordinary letters 'W', 'o' and 'd' represented by the character values 0x57, 0x6f and 0x64. These characters are from the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" section of the font. Specifically they are the "Mathematical Bold Script Capital W", the "Mathematical Bold Script Small O" and the "Mathematical Bold Script Small D" characters represented by the values 0x1d4e6, 0x1d4f8 and 0x1d4ed. See https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/mathematical-alphanumeric-symbols/ for a table of the characters in that section.
There's a good chance that any modern browser would show those characters just as you're seeing them. It comes down to whether the font that the browser uses to present the page includes glyphs for those character values.
Encoding is maping that gives characters or symbols a unique value.
If a character is not present in encoding no matter what font you use it won't display correct fonts
Like Lucida console, arial or terminal
But problem is terminal font is showing line draw characters but other font is not showing line draw characters
My question is why terminal is behaving different to other font

For the impatient, the relevant link is at the bottom of this answer.

No, that are the specifics of a character-set, which maps certain characters to code points (using the Unicode terminology). Lets ignore the above for now.

Font formats map Unicode code points to glyphs. Not all code points may be mapped for specific fonts - somebody has to create all these symbols. Again, lets ignore this.
Not all binary encodings may map to code points within a certain character set; this is possibly what you mean.

Your terminal seems to operate on a different character set, probably the "OEM" or "IBM PC" character set instead of a Unicode compliant character set or Windows-1252 / ISO 8859-1 / Latin.
If it is the latter than you are out of luck unless you can set your output-terminal to another character set, as Windows-1252 doesn't support the box drawing characters at all.
Solutions:
If possible try and set the output to OEM / IBM PC character set.
If it is Unicode you can try and convert the output to Unicode: read it in (decode it) using the OEM character set and then re-encode it using the box drawing subset.
I need to write unicode characters and diacritics in a web page. They are part of a phonetic alphabet designed for romanist studies (the Bourciez Alphabet). My problem is a display issue, I believe: the character codes are all OK in unicode, but some diacritics are not displayed as expected.
Most notably, the 'COMBINING DOUBLE BREVE BELOW' (U+035C) does not display as expected: it appears not under the 2 letters to which it is supposed to apply, but under the last of those letters and the next character (another letter, or a space).
Here for instance, the combining diacritic should be under the first 2 "a" characters, but it is displayed under the 2nd and 3rd "a"; yet you can see that the combination has been applied to the first 2 "a"s, because they are displayed in smaller size than the normal "a"s:
result of combining double breve below
I'm using fonts which have those characters (I tried Arial MS Unicode, Gentium, and Lucida Sans Unicode). They all have the same display issue.
Any idea how I can solve this issue?
I'm having trouble reproducing the problem. Connecting two characters with the breve diacritic seems to be working for me. First I enter the first character of the pair, then the U+035C character, finally the second and it shows as follows.

I want to display a cross in the place of superscript, I know the unicode character of the cross (\u2020).
Unicode encodes plain text. Superscripting isn’t plain text, so you need something external to, or “on top of” plain text. For example, on a web page, you could use the CSS to position character above the baseline (and reduce font size). In a word processor, you would use superscripting command or style.
In Unicode, there is a limited number of superscript characters, i.e. variants of characters in superscript style encoded as separate characters, such as superscript two “²”. But Unicode has no mechanism for superscripts in general.
I was able to transform sinhala Unicode characters to symbols by just copying those characters into MS word and changing the font to TIMES NEW ROMAN, The letters are in the link image;
sequence of symbols and letters = fnda, rduqj - .Kl rduqj
But now I can't changed those Unicode characters into sequence of symbols and letters. Every time I paste those characters it doesn't allow me to change to another font type. How can I make it changeable or is there a better way of getting that sequence of letters?
