Hi Mike (+future users!),

 

I have the same problem as you and after a long chat with support it looks as though CE doesn't support encoding of characters for arabic.

 

Here's what seems to be the encoding chart:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-6

 

Our SQL 2005 database does not seem to support arabic chars, so encoding them would be a great way around this.

 

Hopefully CE will maybe introduce encoding for arabic characters in the future ;-)

Regards,
Marcus
