PoDoFo library and character with accent (ì, è, ...)

Question

As the title, when I create the pdf, accented characters are not shown or appear this Ã¬, how can I solve? I already tried with several encoding, but doesn't works. Thanks lot in advance

 PoDoFo::PdfFont* pFont = document->CreateFont("Liberation Serif", false, false, false, PoDoFo::PdfEncodingFactory::GlobalStandardEncodingInstance());


tablemodelint->SetFont(pFont);

if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Mon)
        giorno = "Lunedì";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Tue)
        giorno = "Martedì";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Wed)
        giorno = "Mercoledì";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Thu)
        giorno = "Giovedì";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Fri)
        giorno = "Venerdì";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Sat)
        giorno = "Sabato";
    else if(dataSel1.GetWeekDay() == wxDateTime::WeekDay::Sun)
        giorno = "Domenica";
        

    tablemodelint->SetText(1, 0, giorno + ", " + dataSel1.Format("%d-%m-%y").ToStdString());

Which encodings have you tried? Have you tried utf-8? What encoding is your cpp file saved with? — Alan Birtles, Apr 20 '22 at 06:26
Maybe [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42902838/podofo-library-c-polish-text-to-pdf) will help. — n. m. could be an AI, Apr 20 '22 at 06:54
I tried all this http://podofo.sourceforge.net/doc/html/classPoDoFo_1_1PdfSimpleEncoding.html — luna80, Apr 20 '22 at 07:03
@luna80, which OS you are testing on? What locale you have it installed? I presume you are able to see those symbols in other applications... — Igor, Apr 20 '22 at 12:03
@Igor, I'm on a linux computer (gentoo), locale is set to it_CH.utf8 and yes in other applications I see all correctly. thanks — luna80, Apr 20 '22 at 12:10
None of the string literals in the code you gave us have any accented characters. — Spencer, Apr 20 '22 at 13:07
`Ã¬` in [ISO-8859-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1) is `C3 AC`, which is the UTF-8 byte sequence representing `ì`, so apparently you're setting the wrong input encoding — phuclv, Apr 20 '22 at 13:24
you created `pFont` but I don't see you use it anywhere. Please make a [mcve] — phuclv, Apr 20 '22 at 13:31
Try appending `u8` or `U` to each string literal. (I can't test this for you right now) — Spencer, Apr 20 '22 at 14:11
