See #4364 (comment). Seems this was caused by 27c9f75.

A minimal testcase:

const fs = require('fs');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.setContent('😃');
    fs.writeFileSync('out.png', await page.screenshot());
    await browser.close();
})();

When run using 1.15, this correctly outputs:

When run using 1.16, which includes mentioned commit, this incorrectly outputs:

Same issue here, v1.15.0 arabic and UTF-8 characters exported as a PDF come out correctly, v1.16.0 it is all messed up.

Same issue here @v1.16

Right now I'm trying to do await page.type(' \u0000 '); but when I get the value of the element:

 return page
    .$(selector)
    .then(el => {
      return el?.evaluate(el => {
          return (el as HTMLTextAreaElement).value;

I only get the spaces.

To be more accurate, I type : [32, 0 ,32] chars but I get [32, 32] , the 0 is missing, not sure why.
