besaraha.. ana mesh merakeza khals..bas i'll tell you what i did..
I think there is a default values for the charset.. which is the key point 
here..
when u use insert statement into a table with arabic data.. and u did not 
adjust the encoding of the table u already define.. the data will be rabish 
not save properly.. that's the problem i faced at the time i sent that 
email..
all u have to do is to define a table taking into consideration the 
charset.. bas da men nahya..
another thing.. when u display that data.. am talking from Jsp side or java 
desktop application side.. you also should take into consideration the 
charset to be UTF-8 or any other arabic encodings bas maybe it won't work 
properly on other enviroments.. 3shan keda utf-8..
 ana mesh merakeza kalas...
