Yes, I am working with iTextSharp in .Net.

Thanks for the code and try.
I followed to try similar things in .Net. With UTF16, the 1st Asian
character returned is 0xFFFD. The 2nd is correct.
=== C# ===
PdfReader rdr = new PdfReader(ofdFile.FileName);
ITextExtractionStrategy strategy = new SimpleTextExtractionStrategy();
String txt = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(rdr, 1, strategy);
byte[] bs16 = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(txt);
foreach (byte b in bs16)
{
Console.Write("{0:X2} ", b);
}
Console.Write("\n");
=== C# ===
=== OUTPUT ===
31 00 20 00 FD FF 20 00 0A 00 32 00 20 00 DB 92 20 00
=== OUTPUT ===
Regards
