thanks for your reply,
my problem that i have a website done with PHP, so data is retrieved from SQL table through PHP to be posted on the site pages. the data in the tables is in Arabic.
everything was going well until I restore my PC. so after restoration data on the website appears as questions Mark ??????????
(N.B: this work is offline on my pc, and not on the server, the online website is working well)

So i want to know why arabic data appears as questions mark??
I guess that it is a font problem, maybe the font is lost. as charset i'am using windows-1256

the collation name of the SQL table is : SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

any help please.........it is very urgent
thank you
