You can export emojis to a PDF document using PHP by following these steps:

  1. Install a PDF library like TCPDF or FPDF in your PHP project.
  2. Create a new PDF document using the library of your choice.
  3. Add emojis to the PDF document using their Unicode representation. Emojis can be added just like any other text by specifying their Unicode code points.
  4. Save the PDF document to a file using the library's output method.


Here is an example using TCPDF:

 1

require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('freeserif');
$pdf->Write(0, "😀 This is an emoji in a PDF document");

$pdf->Output('emoji.pdf', 'F');


In this example, "😀" is the Unicode representation for the smiling face emoji. You can replace it with any other emoji Unicode code point.


After running this code, a PDF file named "emoji.pdf" will be created with the emoji added to it.
