Display Laos currency symbol '₭'.

[deshani.v]

Hi, I have been searching for ways to display this Laos currency symbol(₭) in my jasper report and still couldn't land in with a possible solution.

I had been following this article/guide and it gave me sound results with Laos letters but not the currency symbol. The currency symbol only displays as a square but nothing else.

So I would like to know if there's an alternative for the matter. As in, change of the font jar, Jaspersoft version, iTextpdf version, any other related dependency, or tomcat server-related change.

Following versions are there inside the project,

TIBCO Jaspersoft® Studio 6.16.0 

Arial Unicode.jar

iTextpdf-5.5.13.jar

junit-jupiter-api-5.7.0

jasperreports-6.16.0

and encoding type is following,

PDF encoding - Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing)

Found a solution. It was right in front of my eyes and I couldn't sniff it out.

Anyway, what I did was change the text field font to Arial and encoding type to Identity-H (Unicode with horizontal writing). That supports the Laos currency symbol.
