Arabic Text not displayed in .net Controls

Hi,

I'm getting strange behavior with Arabic Language, and can't figure out where's the problem.
Scenario is that my Website works fine at my development system where I've got vs 2005. It shows all Arabic content without any problem.

Now problem arises when i publish it on 2003 server with IIS6.0(arabic enabled).

First of all it was not showing any kind of Arabic, i.e. from HTML or code or DB. I went through some forums and by adding some tags and charset info i got it working for the text given in Page's HTML design.
but still not able to get it working from Code.

here is a snippet from my page's design:

<asp:DropDownList  ID="cboStatus" runat="server" Width="211px">
                <asp:ListItem Value ="التأخير " > التأخير </asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Value ="الإنصراف قبل الموعد" > الإنصراف قبل الموعد </asp:ListItem>
                <asp:ListItem Value="التأخير والانصراف قبل الموعد"> التأخير والانصراف قبل الموعد</asp:ListItem>

and here's one for same generated Page from IIS:

         <select name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$cboStatus" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_cboStatus" style="width:211px;">
	<option value="������� "> ������� </option>
	<option value="�������� ��� ������"> �������� ��� ������ </option>
	<option value="������� ��������� ��� ������"> ������� ��������� ��� ������</option>
	<option value="������"> ������</option>
	<option value="���������"> ���������</option>
	<option selected="selected" value="All"> All </option>
 
</select></td>

please help me out.
