euro symbol issue

[Icosa2050]

Thanks for your fine library, it is unique and helps a lot. Sadly I am not good enough to help the lib or even help myself, understanding that PDF encoding is very complicated, therefore I open this issue.
I want to print values with currency symbol, dollar and pound do work, no surprise somehow, but euro symbol drives me nuts.
I tested with Unicode branch and different fonts, loaded TTF fonts. I checked the euro symbol is where it should be in the fonts. Symbol Unicode | ₠
The character printed looks like a small < sign, no matter my fonts (arial, sans, mono, courier) . I am on a ubuntu 18.10.
Any ideas for a workaround for this kind of edge cases, somehow printing out symbols hard coded or in any other way, would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Don't try Unicode, it is not working at all.
To print Euro sign, use String.fromCharCode(128), using the basic Helvetica embedded font, it works.

Thank you very much for your quick and helpful answer. It does print the symbol. Great so far. Now I will have to tinker around , to replace the symbol in user textfields and from db with the Result of String. fromCharCode(128) expression.

Any reason why this doesn't work? I use a different package that returns a money format based on my language so the only thing I get is the symbol pls the ammount

@erperejildo That's an old issue, it's perfectly working now:

 Future<Uint8List> _generatePdf(PdfPageFormat format, String title) async {
    final pdf = pw.Document();

    final fontData = await rootBundle.load('assets/open-sans.ttf');
    final font = pw.Font.ttf(fontData);

    pdf.addPage(
      pw.Page(
        pageFormat: format,
        build: (context) => pw.Text('Hello €', style: pw.TextStyle(font: font)),
      ),
    );

    return pdf.save();
  }

I might be doing something else wrong but I do still have the error on the €-sign.

String.fromCharCode(128) Worked fine

pw.Row( mainAxisAlignment: pw.MainAxisAlignment.end, children: [ pw.Text('Total price: €539.00', style: pw.TextStyle(fontSize: 16)), ]),
