To place that character in your pdf you should use the unicode character escape: \u2213. If you want to know about other special character unicode notations, then I would like to suggest the next resource: https://charbase.com/block/mathematical-operators

Your code should then be modified to the following:

PdfPCell cb21 = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("\u00B1", calibri_7));
