OK, but that's probably because the font you are using in the PDF does not support UTF-8.

Understand. How can i use another font before convert to pdf?

I'm not to familiar with the PDF libraries, but you can set the font on $xmlWriter->setFont('arial');
Also, did you try with other PDF libraries (mpdf or dompdf)?

I have same problem. My .docx file:

Witam,
na imię mam ${variableName} i jestem z Białogardu.

.pdf file:

Witam,
na imi? mam Jacek i jestem z Bia?ogardu.

And my php code:

			require_once LIBRARY_PATH.'/bootstrap.php';
			$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

			$domPdfPath = realpath(VENDOR_PATH.'/dompdf/dompdf');
			\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath($domPdfPath);
			\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DomPDF');
			
			$template = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor(FILES_PATH.'/imie.docx');
			$template->setValue('variableName', 'Jacek');
			$template->saveAs(FILES_PATH.'/result.docx');
			
			//Load temp file
			$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load(FILES_PATH.'/result.docx');

			//Save it
			$xmlWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord , 'PDF');
			$xmlWriter->save(FILES_PATH.'/result.pdf');

Any suggestions?

$xmlWriter->setFont('arial') - dont work

This is working:

$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

$domPdfPath = realpath(VENDOR_PATH.'/dompdf/dompdf');
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererPath($domPdfPath);
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Settings::setPdfRendererName('DomPDF');

$template = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor(FILES_PATH.'/imie.docx');
$template->setValue('variableName', 'Jacek');
$template->saveAs(FILES_PATH.'/result.docx');

//Load temp file
$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load(FILES_PATH.'/result.docx');

$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
$objWriter->save(FILES_PATH.'/hello.html');
chmod(FILES_PATH.'/hello.html', 0777);

$dompdf = new \Dompdf\Dompdf();
$dompdf->load_html(file_get_contents(FILES_PATH.'/hello.html'));

// (Optional) Setup the paper size and orientation
$dompdf->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');

// Render the HTML as PDF
$dompdf->render();
$pdf_string = $dompdf->output();
file_put_contents(FILES_PATH.'/result2.pdf', $pdf_string);

And in file: phpword\src\PhpWord\Writer\HTML\Part\Head.php

        $content .= '<head>' . PHP_EOL;
        $content .= '<meta charset="UTF-8" />' . PHP_EOL;
        $content .= '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>' . PHP_EOL;
        $content .= '<title>' . $title . '</title>' . PHP_EOL;
        // foreach ($propertiesMapping as $key => $value) {
            // $value = ($value == '') ? $key : $value;
            // $method = 'get' . $key;
            // if ($docProps->$method() != '') {
                // $content .= '<meta name="' . $value . '"'
                          // . ' content="' . (Settings::isOutputEscapingEnabled() ? $this->escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($docProps->$method()) : $docProps->$method()) . '"'
                          // . ' />' . PHP_EOL;
            // }
        // }
        //$content .= $this->writeStyles();
		$content .= '<style>body {font-family: DejaVu Sans, sans-serif}</style>' . PHP_EOL;
        $content .= '</head>' . PHP_EOL;

@jkurowski When composer update or composer install, phpword\src\PhpWord\Writer\HTML\Part\Head.php - will change.

Better:
$fontStyle = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font();
$fontStyle->setName('DejaVu Sans, sans-serif');

Do you have a solution for the same problem?

$fontStyleName = 'oneUserDefinedStyle';
$phpWord->addFontStyle(
    $fontStyleName,
    array('name' => 'DejaVu Sans', 'size' => 10)
);

Works for me. Fonts location in /vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts, by default install from composer.
