It's hard to know without you putting some sample. can be accentuated. You didn't even mention in which position this character is appearing...
Enter more information about where this character appears

Thanks Geraldo! Apologies, Its appearing in the beginning and end of the text. However not for all the text.

I have a Voting nominations responses for students in Excel. And i am trying a make each students responses into a single formatted application pdf.

I found the reason, there was a waring in the render tool. 
"Warning: Render (18): The font "Century Gothic" does not contain printable symbols for one or more characters in the text being output.".

 

When i have changed the font from Century Gothic to Ariel, it fixed.
