Problem in saving aspx file with encoding

Question

I am developing a web application in Arabic. For that I convert existing pages in English to Arabic and save the file with encoding.

But when I restarted Visual Studio all the arabic characters are changed to '?'.

What might have caused this?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

This may be an issue of character-encoding.

You can try adding this to your header:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">

or set your document encoding to 8859-6
