hi,
this might be happening because of conversion of data from Unicode(arabic) to ansi format when stored on sql database .

sorry for my mistake, its actually ASCII (and not ansi)...you need to check if the database you are using supports unicode or not.In case it supports Unicode ,then you should check what changes you should do (in code or otherwise), to take advantage of the Unicode support .

Probably because you have VARCHAR as your data type. Try using NVARCHAR[^]
