arabic characters

[Joe Abou Jaoude]

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"> áÅÊÕÇáÇÊ ÇáÓáßíÉ
æÇááÇÓáßíÉ
</OPTION>
<OPTION value="3395"> ÇáÅÊÃÇÞÇÊ
</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 responseEncoding 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.
