Raja,

Reflection/UNIX cannot be used to view Arabic characters, nor can 'ordinary' printers just print Arabic. You will have to obtain specific Terminal Emulators with support for the specific Arabic code page that the data is stored in. There are some Arabic specific terminals as well (at least 5 years back!) that may help. AFAIK, there is no escape sequence that can set it - it's not that simple!
