How can the class mentioned in the forum thread be utilized to solve the issue with special characters in FPDF?

The issue with special characters in FPDF arises when trying to display non-ASCII characters, such as accented letters or symbols, in the generated PDF. One way to solve this is by using the UTF-8 class provided in the FPDF library, which allows for proper encoding and display of special characters in the PDF. 

require('fpdf.php');
require('utf8.php');

$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();

$utf8 = new UTF8();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 12);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, $utf8->decode('Special characters: é, ü, ç, ñ'), 0, 1);

$pdf->Output();
