When I use Flying Saucer to convert html page with Chinese character. The Chinese character displayed as a box like below
I have tried both methods: using the css as in this answer Flying Saucer font for unicode characters and using the code as in this answer Flying Saucer iTextPDF Chinese Fonts, but they did not work. Does anyone have another suggestion?
I have declared the UTF-8 charset in meta tag as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html language="en">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type"> </meta>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///opt/template/employer.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="file:///opt/template/style.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="file:///opt/template/print.css"/>
</head>
Here is the relevant section with the chinese characters:
<tbody><tr>
<td align="left" width="150" valign="top">
Name
</td>
<td align="left" width="305" valign="top">
<label id="candidateName">VU DINH THE / 你好</label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" width="150" valign="top">
Gender/Status
</td>
<td align="left" width="305" valign="top">
<label id="gender">Female</label> / <label id="status">Single
</label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" width="150" valign="top">
Date of Birth/Age
</td>
<td align="left" width="305" valign="top">
<label id="dob">12 Sep 1985</label> / <label id="age">30</label>
</td>
</tr>
And the content of print.css:
@font-face {
font-family: Arial Unicode MS;
src: url('file:///opt/template/arialuni.ttf');
-fs-pdf-font-embed: embed;
-fs-pdf-font-encoding: Identity-H;
}

Replacement of a character by an empty square or rectangle usually means that the character is not defined in the font file, and the system doesn't find information to draw it.
In this case, the HTML and CSS code is correct, but the arialuni.ttf file is incomplete.
For reference, the arialuni.ttf should be ~23 MB.
