I am converting SVG to PDF using Cairo PDF library of Python. It is working well for ASCII characters, but for Unicode chars it is displaying a square box. Is there any solution to deal with this problem?
cairosvg.svg2pdf(
url='svg_file_with_unicode_character.svg',
write_to='output.expecting_unicode_character.pdf',
output_height=720,
output_width=1200
)

I got a solution for this. I included a font called GNU Unifont in SVG as following:
.font-class{
font-family: Unifont
}
Which seems to have all the required glyphs for Unicode chars that I need.
Kudos to GNU Unifont! from hint "add font-family" by @RobertLongson
