Question

I want to save the arabic word into oracle database. User type a arabic word from client side and submit that word.In client side I printed that word by using alert it is shown arabic text. But the word shown in server side, java console (by using Sytem.out.println) as شاحÙØ©. So it is shown in db as ????. I saw the related post, in one of the post discuss changing the ‘text file encoding’ into UTF-8 in Eclipse, I changed the ‘text file encoding’ into UTF-8. But no effect it is showing previous characters like شاحÙØ©. Then I changed the applications ‘text file encoding’ into UTF-8 , then got same output. I think the word sending into db like this that is why db shows as ????. Is any solution?

my code is in Java

vehicleServiceModel.setVehicleType(request.getParameter("vehicleType"));

    System.out.println("vehicle Type :  "+vehicleServiceModel.getVehicleType());

client side

jQuery.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        cache : false,
        url: "addvehicle.htm",
        data:{vehName:VehicleName,make:Make,model:Model,color:Color,plateNumber:PlateNumber,driverName:DriverName,vehicleType:VehicleType,vehTimeZone:vehTimeZone},
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: Success,
        error: Error
    });

    function Success(data, status) {
     //some code
     }

Answer 1

In Command line, you need to set the code page to 1256 (Arabic). But storing arabic texts in a database, you need to set the column data to UTF-8. Also, make sure that your charset is set to UTF-8 (if you’re doing a web page).
