[mapserver-dev] Arabic encoding in Mapscript

[mapsab]

Hi,
   I am using c#mapscript(utilmap)(MapServer version 4.8.4 ) with asp.net in
our web application(www.welcometooman.com) .With English data it is working
fine.But when I try to show some labels in arabic it shows some Arabic
characters,but not in a joined way.We have created the layer using mapinfo
with one filed  contains arabic .All the layers are in .Tab format.The layer
code  is as follows


LAYER

   NAME "Museums_c"

  
   TYPE POINT
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   
   CONNECTION "Museums_c.TAB"
   
   
   STATUS ON
   # This enables use of colors and styles from the source file.
   #STYLEITEM "AUTO"
   # Define an empty class that will be filled at runtime from the color and
   # styles read on each shape in the source file.
   #CLASSITEM "TYPE"

   LABELITEM "Ar_Name"
   
   CLASS
      	SIZE 10
      	STYLE
      		COLOR 255 0 0
     		OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
     		SYMBOL 'museum'
	END #STYLE
	#TEXT ([LABEL], [LABEL])
	LABEL
	    ANGLE AUTO
		COLOR 100 100 255
		FONT arial
		TYPE TRUETYPE
		SIZE 10
		POSITION LC
		WRAP " "
		ENCODING "Windows-1256"
		
	END#LABEL
  END# CLASS
  END#LAYER

any solution please.
