I had similar problem and ended up using tcpdf.Hope this could be helpful. http://www.tcpdf.org/
Problem was the font i was using.I was able to get the correct output using this font 'freeserif'.I guess it might be possible to get the same output using this font with dompdf.

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

Here is the sample i have used. tcpdf utf-8 sample

setFontSubsetting(true);

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

$pdf->AddPage();

$utf8text = '
  

Ponuka číslo € černý Češký 

සිංහල  

தேமல  

';

$pdf->SetTextColor(0, 63, 127);

$pdf->writeHTML($utf8text, true, 0, true, true);

$pdf->Output('example_008.pdf', 'I');
