HTML - Arabic Support

Question

i have a website in which i have to put some lines in Arabic.... how to do it...

where to get the Arabic text characters... how to make the page support Arabic...

Answer 1

Won't you need the ensure the area where you display the Arabic is Right-to-Left orientated also?

e.g.

<p dir="rtl">

Answer 2

This is the answer that was required but everybody answered only part one of many.

• Step 1 - You cannot have the multilingual characters in unicode document.. convert the document to UTF-8 document

advanced editors don't make it simple for you... go low level...
use notepad to save the document as meName.html & change the encoding
type to UTF-8

• Step 2 - Mention in your html page that you are going to use such characters by

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
  

• Step 3 - When you put in some characters make sure your container tags have the following 2 properties set

  dir='rtl'
  lang='ar'
  

• Step 4 - Get the characters from some specific tool\editor or online editor like i did with Arabic-Keyboard.org

example

<p dir="rtl" lang="ar" style="color:#e0e0e0;font-size:20px;">رَبٍّ زِدْنٍي عِلمًا</p>

NOTE: font type, font family, font face setting will have no effect on special characters
