Hi there,
I've installed the Serendipity in my website and everything works fine except one small problem with Arabic text.
The problem is in the Blog title & Blog Description, it comes out incorrectly
Please visit this URL and see the problem:

Any advice to solve this problem will be appreciated?
Thank You

Hi!
Did you try to enter the s9y configuration and re-enter your blog title+description? In some cases the value you enter in installation there gets saved wrong and must be re-enteredafter installation?

Hi garvinhicking,
Thank you for your reply.
As an answer to your question, I would like say yes I did try that and did not work.
Thanks

Hi!
Which browser do you use to fill in the characters? It seems your browser uses HTML entities instead of the "real" characters; it would be better if not somethin glie 'ä' were to be entered, but instead "ä" as the real character...

Hi Gravin,
I'm using IE 7 & I'm inserting the real charectores just like: "سلطان العتيبي".
Thank you for your reply

Hi!
Could you temporarily try the Firefox browser to see if it works there?
Also, what's the name of the template you are using? It might be that it's caused by that one. If you switch the template to Serendipity 3.0 (default theme), does it show up properly?
