pdfkit doc.text showing "Ð" in newline (\n) in nodejs

I am using pdfkit to create invoice in pdf.

When I tried to add newline/nextline (\n) in a string which I tried to add using doc.text("Text \n new line"); it shows Ð and then adds newline.

Here is the code:


const doc = new PDFDocument({
    margin: 5,
    autoFirstPage: false,
    bufferPages: true,
});

doc.addPage();

// other codes ...


doc.text("1. Hello World");
doc.text(`2. Pdfkit
newline`);

Here is the rendered screenshot:

How can I get rid of this?

Solution 
  • doc.text(`2. Pdfkit
newline`.replace(/\r\n|\r/g, '\n'));

    I simply added string.replace(/\r\n|\r/g, '\n') for the string and it worked
