To achieve this you need to take each character, get its integral value, then format it as a string using the hexadecimal format specifier.

For example:

string name = "أحمد";
foreach (char c in name)
{
    int value = (int)c;
    string hex = value.ToString("X4");
    Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", hex, c);
}
