As mentioned above  by default text editors will not use UTF-8 as the standard encoding for documents  However most editors will allow you to change that in the settings  Even for each specific document

Check you have  lt meta charset  quot utf-8 quot  gt  inside head block

You not only have to put the meta tag  telling that it is UTF-8 but really make the document UTF-8  You can do that with good editors  like notepad    by converting them to  unicode  or  UTF-8 without BOM   Than you can simply use arabic characters  As this page is UTF-8  here are some examples  I hope I don t write anything rude here        If you use a server side scripting language make sure that it does not output the page in a different encoding  In PHP e g  you can set it like this   header  Content-Type  text html  charset utf-8

The W3C has a good introduction   In short   HTML is a text markup language  Text means any characters  not just ones in ASCII     Save your text using a character encoding that includes the characters you want  UTF-8 is a good bet   This will probably require configuring your editor in a way that is specific to the particular editor you are using   Obviously it also requires that you have a way to input the characters you want  Make sure your server sends the correct character encoding in the headers  how you do this depends on the server software you us  If the document you serve over HTTP specifies its encoding internally  then make sure that is correct too If anything happens to the document between you saving it and it being served up  e g  being put in a database  being munged by a server side script  etc  then make sure that the encoding isn t mucked about with on the way    You can also represent any unicode character with ASCII

If you don t even know where to get Arabic characters  but you want to display them  then you re doing something wrong   Save files containing Arabic characters with encoding UTF-8  A good editor allows you to set the character encoding  In the HTML page  place the following after  lt head gt     lt meta http-equiv  Content-Type  content  text html charset UTF-8  gt    If you re using XHTML    lt meta http-equiv  Content-Type  content  text html charset UTF-8    gt    That s it   An alternative way  without messing with the encoding of a file   is using HTML escape sequences  This website does that jobs for you  http   www htmlescape net

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  amp  change the encoding    type to UTF-8    Step 2 - Mention in your html page that you are going to use such characters by   lt meta http-equiv  Content-Type  content  text html charset UTF-8  gt   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   lt p dir  rtl  lang  ar  style  color  e0e0e0 font-size 20px   gt                      lt  p gt    NOTE  font type  font family  font face setting will have no effect on special characters
