An Arabic name shall be sent via SOAP. The name is encoded like this:
<value>محمد عبدالله هلال</value>
However when converting the above to UTF-8 with some online converters the result looks like this:
Ù…ØÙ…د عبدالله هلال
What am I missing here so that the correct Arabic characters are displayed?
Thanks,
Robert
The encoded data you showed does encode the nonsensical data you showed (or similar, because it actually encodes some unprintable characters as well).
So your input is already wrong.
You might be able to salvage it, but the correct solution would be to make sure that the input is correct in the first place.
