How can developers avoid issues with UTF-8 encoding when generating PDFs in PHP without using Composer?

When generating PDFs in PHP without using Composer, developers can avoid issues with UTF-8 encoding by ensuring that the content being added to the PDF is properly encoded using UTF-8. This can be achieved by using the mb_convert_encoding function to convert the content to UTF-8 before adding it to the PDF. 

// Ensure content is properly encoded in UTF-8
$content = mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8', 'auto');

// Add content to PDF
$pdf->Write(0, $content);
