→ breaks the PDF export

[jd1]

Expected Behavior

When I export a board including a → in an item, I expect that the PDF export contains this character and the layout isn't broken.

Actual Behavior

The PDF export contains !’ instead of → and the layout isn't broken for this item.

Example

This is the export from a testing board.

Beginner here, I want to look into this :)

@Carouelle please go ahead

It seems the problem is caused by the jsPDF dependency, with support for some kinds of Unicode character codes being broken. The issue can be recreated on their demo page quite easily. http://rawgit.com/MrRio/jsPDF/master/

I've submitted an issue on the project's page and I may start to look deeper into it some time tomorrow. https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/1485

take a look into this https://github.com/MrRio/jsPDF/issues/12

I suspected this, and also got confirmation on my issue. So I guess our best course of action is to wait for the implementation of utf-8?

[glauberramos]

I guess so, or we can take a look into another library, but that would require rewrite the whole feature

I think we should hold that for now
