arab letters from variable

[b83s]

Hello,

I am trying to get an arab string $html = 'ل مسؤول أميركي رفيع إن الرئيس الأميركي جورج بوش سيحث رئي '; to view on a webpage. If i put the string directly in the html it shows correctly. but when getting it from a variable i just get a string witgh question marks ?????? ??? ????.

I also changed some settings in my php.ini but no luck either. does anybody know's how i can make this happen?

thanks in advance.

Hmm, you may want to first check if all your text is unicode. And, if PHP actually supports those characters.

I should probably check too, I work with a lot of Japanese characters and am curious if php can do anything with them.
