The problem is handling the special chars with dom_pdf.

Please try adding UTF-8 to the load_html() function:

$html = 'ţăaţţi sÎ';
$dompdf->load_html($html,'UTF-8');

If this doesn't work out, i think you might need to adjust the dompdf config and enable Unicode:

dompdf_config.inc.php

mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
def("DOMPDF_UNICODE_ENABLED", true);

If the content is still not correct, try to convert it:

$html = mb_convert_encoding($html, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8');

And on the HTML and CSS side of things, make sure your are rendering in UTF-8, while using a font, which supports the symbols and chars.

*{ font-family: DejaVu Sans, font-size: 12px;}

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
