John Hewson commented on PDFBOX-2774:
-------------------------------------
There was another bug in the same method where the PDF character code being
returned was actually a Unicode character, which is why the "logical not"
symbol was appearing instead of Euro.
> Can't encode Euro with WinAnsiEncoding
