arabic characters



hi,
I m trying to fill dropdownlists on my aspx web page with arabic
characters. here's an example:

<SELECT NAME="subject" SIZE="1" dir="rtl"> <OPTION SELECTED>
<OPTION value="14"> áÅÊÕÇáÇ ÇáÓáß*É
æÇááÇÓá *É
</OPTION>
<OPTION value="3395"> ÇáÅÊÝÇÞ Ê
</OPTION>
</OPTION>
</SELECT>

this example show perfect arabic characters in html pages but unreadable
characters (like the ones shown) in aspx pages.

can anyone tell me why ?
and how can I display arabic charactes ?

PS:In the globalisation tag of the web.config file the requestEncoding
and the responseEncodin g attributes are set to utf-8

Are you saving your ASPX files as UTF8? Also, just to be sure, check what
Encoding IE is using when browsing the page.

Hi I am doing a bilingual .NET application for English/Arabic. On a web form, I have some edit boxes for data entry in Arabic and some for entry in English. Right now the user has to change his keyboard language by pressing ALT+SHIFT (or by changing the language manually elsewhere) each time he wants to shift from one language to another.
