I'm trying to customize the footer of a Word document, like this $default = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultFooter'); $default->addText($patient_data['patientName']); $docx->addFooter(array('FOOTERPATIENTNAME' => $default)); The 'patientName' are german, and we have special char inside. When we call this method the docx: is not created, or it created without replacing the name. if the patientName has not special char, it works! There's a solution on how insert the german umlaut char? (in the rest of the document I use the replaceVariableByHTML where the var to replace has a str_replace('germanChar', 'htmlCharCode, $string), but this method not works on the footer. Any solution? thanks. p.s.: there's no change if set the utf with setEncodeUTF8
