title: Displaying Arabic characters in C# console application
body: <p>I believe it was possible to show Arabic characters on a console application 13+ years ago, since the days of Windows ME.</p>
  
  <p>Now i am using Visual Studio 2013, On a Windows 8, and the following code shows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>????? ??</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>   Console.OutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode;
     Console.WriteLine("مرحبا بك");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there anyway to show Arabic characters in the console output?</p>
