How can one effectively troubleshoot issues with UTF-8 encoding in tcpdf and fpdi in PHP?

To troubleshoot issues with UTF-8 encoding in tcpdf and fpdi in PHP, make sure that your source text is encoded in UTF-8 and that you are using the correct font that supports UTF-8 characters.

$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 12);

// Output the PDF
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
