Okay, you screwed up something. How can we know what?
Make sure you never use anything non-Unicode in between.

This is a usual behavior when you try to convert Unicode data into something in non-Unicode encoding. You need to make sure that encodings other then UTFs are never used. As you did not provide more information to give you more detailed advice, that's all.

For what?! I did not see a line of your code, have no idea what did you try and where did you screw up. Due to long today's rain, my access to your hard drive is somewhat limited...

Solution 3

You should use NVARCHAR for storing Arabic data instead of VARCHAR

You have to make sure that the content encoding for your web pages is UTF, otherwise it is not going to work. Here are few tips:
1. Make sure the datatype of your data in database table is nvarchar.
2. Make sure that the SP you are using also has nvarchar as parameter type.
3. Make request and response encoding as UTF-8. Add this in the web.config for application level encoding:

HTML

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <globalization
      requestEncoding="utf-8"
      responseEncoding="utf-8"      
    />
  </system.web>
</configuration>

and add this for page level encoding:

ASP.NET

<%@ Page RequestEncoding="utf-8" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>

And as SA said we don't know what did you screw, this probably is just few suggestions that might work. Try and come back if it helps.
