private class UnicodeFontFactory : FontFactoryImp
{
    private BaseFont _baseFont;

    public  UnicodeFontFactory()
    {
        string FontPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Fonts), "arialuni.ttf");
        _baseFont = BaseFont.CreateFont(FontPath, BaseFont.IDENTITY_H, BaseFont.EMBEDDED);                
    }

    public override Font GetFont(string fontname, string encoding, bool embedded, float size, int style, BaseColor color, bool cached)
    {                                
        return new Font(_baseFont, size, style, color);
    }
}  

//and Code

FontFactory.FontImp = new UnicodeFontFactory();

string convertedHtml = string.Empty;
foreach (char c in htmlText)
{
     if (c < 127)  
           convertedHtml += c;
     else
           convertedHtml += "&#" + (int)c + ";";
}

List htmlElements = XMLWorkerHelper.ParseToElementList(convertedHtml, null);

// add the IElements to the document
foreach (IElement htmlElement in htmlElements)
{                            
      document.Add(htmlElement);
}
