Displaying Arabic text in XML

[suhaddad@gmail.com]

I have an XML schema that I want to modify. I need to change the text
from English to Arabic, but I can't seem to be able to do so.

<LearningResour ceData Type="Session - Tutorial and Workouts">

I want to display the Type attribute in Arabic characters. How can I do
that using Unicode or whatever else works?

HELP! I am new to XML.

Thanks.

I don't speak Arabic so I can't translate
"Session - Tutorial and Workouts"
to that language for you but as far as having characters from different
alphabets in XML you are right, an Unicode encoding like UTF-8 is a way
to have your XML encoded in a way so that many different
languages/scripts can be used inside of one document e.g.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<text-list>
<text xml:lang="en">S ession - Tutorial and Workouts</text>
<text xml:lang="ru">Ð ’стреча - ÐºÐ¾Ð½ÑÑƒÐ»ÑŒÑ ‚ация и</text>
</text-list>

Thank you for your help Martin.

So, how can I display an attribute of a tag in Arabic?

By using your favourite text editor with support for Unicode and then
creating an UTF-8 encoded XML document with that editor.
