If you are on a Microsoft platform and have the code page support for the
arabic code page, then a simple MultiByteToWideChar call will take care of
it. Here are the code page numbers to use:
Arabic (ASMO 708): 708
Arabic (DOS): 720
Arabic (ISO): 28596
Arabic (Mac): 10004
Arabic (Windows): 1256
The Mac one seem to require windows 2000, although perhaps MLang would allow
the conversion using its libraries if you have it installed (comes with
IE4/IE5, etc.).
