Display unicode symbols (heart, diamond, etc.) in FPDF

Vote count:

I am currently using FPDF to generate PDFs in PHP. Occasionally, these PDFs must include unicode icons like hearts, diamonds, spades, etc. Here's an example:

"This is a string ♡♡"

However, I cannot get those symbols to display. I've tried mb_convert_encoding, iconv, changing the font and none of them are giving me the result I need. Chinese, Japanese and Korean text are all displaying without issue; the problem seems to be related only to symbols.

Any ideas of how to display these in FPDF? Thanks.
