What language? A link to your site may be helpful.

Have you also tried speaking with your hosting provide about your PHP settings. With one hosting provider I used to use it was necessary to place this line at the top of the .htaccess file .

php_value default_charset UTF-8

This forced the system to use this character set. I doubt though whether it is your case.

This is not a complete solution but your site seems to show ok in the browser if you set it to display Arabic Windows. (Windows-1256). Try putting that in the header of your layout file. NOT in your database. It may work afterwards ntil a more robust solution is given.


And it is the weekend so be patient. People are entitled to a break and this is a forum not a support desk.

I know you can use it in Arabic. Here is a site I know that is using it:

Here are some tips on what needs to be changed:
