The font you are using probably doesn't have that character.
Which font are you using?

You shouldn't.
Have a look at:
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/resources/peace.xml
Note that the encoding is defined in the first line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8 (See http://UTF-8.ora-code.com)"?>
This XML file is used to create the following PDF:
http://itext.ugent.be/itext-in-action/examples/chapter09/results/peace.pdf
As you can see, there are plenty of special glyphs used in this example.
In one of my recent answers, I explained that there are some
errors in this file.
1. Where there's a question mark: that's not iText's fault,
that's because I don't know the translation of the word 'peace'
in that particular language (e.g. in Abkhaz).
2. The Indic languages: something is shown, but the glyphs have the
wrong order. Thats because iText doesn't have a HindiLigaturizer,
only an ArabicLigaturizer.
3. Some glyphs are missing (that's probably your problem too).
For instance 'peace' in Gothic is missing.
This problem could have been solved by using a font that has
the necessary glyphs.
If encoding is not the problem, then you should look for a font
that has the Swedish characters (for instance Arial).

Bruno
