Happens when trying to run the h2c function, prevents the canvas from being created.

The special character ß will be rendered as SS if you have a text-transform: uppercase; and this will trick html2canvas. I solved it by replacing ß by SS in the markup, when I knew the text would be rendered in uppercase.

I found the root cause of this error, if any special character like (‘ß’) present in your text and its Unicode html conversion is ‘ss’ that’s increase the length of offset. Please update the library Thanks.
