Copyright symbol © is not visible in water mark after saving into pdf format using Aspose.Words API

I am confronting an issue while generating water mark text with copyright symbol by following official code. Add Watermark in C#|Aspose.Words for .NET

In the abode code, I have just changed file saving from word to pdf format by using overloaded method which saves into pdf. doc.Save(“D:\sample.pdf”,SaveFormat.Pdf);

Below is the generated pdf document

SampleDoc.pdf (11.5 KB)

Here is the complete code. Please notice i have used string watermarkText = “Aspose.Words for © .NET”; string for water mark text. Output is being generated as Aspose.Words for .NET. My question is where is © symbol

Please help!!!

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var path = @“D:\SampleDoc.docx”;
var pathToGenerateDoc = @“D:\Watermark\SampleDoc.pdf”;
Document doc = new Document(path);

        string watermarkText = "Aspose.Words for © .NET";

        // Create a watermark shape. This will be a WordArt shape.
        // You are free to try other shape types as watermarks.
        Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape watermark = new Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextPlainText);

        // Set up the text of the watermark.
        watermark.TextPath.Text = watermarkText;
        watermark.TextPath.FontFamily = "Arial";
        watermark.Width = 500;
        watermark.Height = 100;

        // Text will be directed from the bottom-left to the top-right corner.
        watermark.Rotation = -40;

        // Remove the following two lines if you need a solid black text.
        watermark.Fill.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Gray; // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark
        watermark.StrokeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray; // Try LightGray to get more Word-style watermark

        // Place the watermark in the page center.
        watermark.RelativeHorizontalPosition = RelativeHorizontalPosition.Page;
        watermark.RelativeVerticalPosition = RelativeVerticalPosition.Page;
        watermark.WrapType = WrapType.None;
        watermark.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Center;
        watermark.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

        // Create a new paragraph and append the watermark to this paragraph.
        Paragraph watermarkPara = new Paragraph(doc);
        watermarkPara.AppendChild(watermark);

        // Insert the watermark into all headers of each document section.
        foreach (Section sect in doc.Sections)
        {
            // There could be up to three different headers in each section, since we want
            // the watermark to appear on all pages, insert into all headers.
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderFirst);
            insertWatermarkIntoHeader(watermarkPara, sect, HeaderFooterType.HeaderEven);
        }

        **doc.Save(pathToGenerateDoc,SaveFormat.Pdf);**
    }

    static void insertWatermarkIntoHeader(Paragraph watermarkPara, Section sect, HeaderFooterType headerType)
    {
        HeaderFooter header = sect.HeadersFooters[headerType];

        if (header == null)
        {
            // There is no header of the specified type in the current section, create it.
            header = new HeaderFooter(sect.Document, headerType);
            sect.HeadersFooters.Add(header);
        }

        // Insert a clone of the watermark into the header.
        header.AppendChild(watermarkPara.Clone(true));
    }
