Arabic text from SQL Server converting to question marks in front end in ASP.NET MVC application

Question

I have Arabic text in my SQL Server. When I run the application I am getting question marks in the front end (ASP.NET MVC application).

I have another database with Arabic content. When I switch to that database it is displaying properly.

Is it the database setting somewhere I need to set?

Thanks

What's the data type of the column that is returning ? I assume it isn't nvarchar? — S3S, Nov 24 '16 at 03:16

Have you tried setting the database to utf8 ? That should be the trick
