TCPDF UTF-8. INR symbols not showing

        tcpdf();
        $obj_pdf = new TCPDF('P', PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
        $obj_pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
        $obj_pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
        $obj_pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
        $obj_pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 14, '', true);
        $obj_pdf->setFontSubsetting(false);
        //$obj_pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true, 0);
        $obj_pdf->SetMargins(5, 5, 5,true);
        $obj_pdf->SetHeaderMargin(0);
        $obj_pdf->SetFooterMargin(0);
        $obj_pdf->AddPage();
        ob_start();

I am using below configuration but not able to generate INR symbol. It show "?" instead of INR symbol.

How can generate INR symbol?

To view the symbol in TCPDF generated PDF's, it is necessary to use a font that supports the Indian Rupee Symbol. You may find such a font from the list at the page https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20b9/fontsupport.htm.

Example:

DejaVu Sans supports displaying Indian Rupee fonts. Locate such a font from TCPDF fonts directory. If the name of the font is dejavusans, use it in the html to generate generate PDF.

<span style="font-family:dejavusans;">&#8377;</span>

I had solved this issue with image instead of symbol.

$rupee_sym = '<img style="width:8px;" src="assets/images/rupee-indian.png" />';

And print it where you want: 

echo $rupee_sym;

Hope this is helpful. :)
