What you are experiencing can also happen with other CJK languages. You
are in one of these situations:
1 - The character is in the Unicode basic plane (0000-ffff) but the
glyph doesn't exist in the font. You'll have to get another font.
2 -The character is not in the basic plane and need 32 bit to be
described. iTextAsian.jar won't work, you'll need iTextAsianCmaps.jar.
This is described in page 252 of the book "iText in Action" but I'll
paste a small example.
PdfEncodings.loadCmap("GBK2K-H", PdfEncodings.CRLF_CID_NEWLINE);
byte text[] = my_GB_encoded_text;
String cid = PdfEncodings.convertCmap("GBK2K-H", text);
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont("STSong-Light", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph(cid, new Font(bf, 14));
document.add(p);
In your case the cmap would be one of the CNS encodings.
