Answer : Does csv file support arabic characters ?

AFAIK the CSV import only works directly with US-English data as I have endless problems loadign CSV data from Japanese machines this way.

The workaround is to use the text import wizard as then you can specify the code-page to use, not sure if there is an Arabic one but using the Japanese code page there means the data imports OK.
