1. Check the encoding of your QR data. Are there extra (non-Arabic) bytes, or anything else?
2. The data that you are receiving from the serial port is 8-bit bytes. It must somehow be converted to Unicode characters, according to the encoding determined in stage (1).

1. Move this question over to the Visual Basic forum. People there may be better able to help you with your code.
