Aneta,

https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/pdf.html#vector-pdf mentions that LABEL 
strings are limitted to ASCII

Jorge,

the fact that it renders fine with QGIS is that the rendering of labels is 
done by QGIS through its own rendering engine with a PDF output. It then uses 
the GDAL PDF driver to assemble the rendering of the different layers with a 
layer tree, and add the georeferencing. It doesn't use the basic in-built GDAL 
PDF vector rendering capabilities.
