i have a problem using tags and categories with Arabic languages it's recording into db as "??? ????? ??????" and i got error when use tag or category URL.
i'm using umbraco version 7.5.3 and Articulate version 2.0.5
I've never seen anything save '?' in place of other characters, I would say this is an issue with either the server or the encoding settings on the website, I don't think Articulate does anything in particular with chars, it just uses what it is given.
second i did like what you told me putting globalization element to web.config and put accept-charset="utf-8" attribute to umbraco form and i got the same problem.
Hi, see notes on this issue: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/issues/211 I'm pretty sure it's an issue with your database culture settings, the other user seemed to solve their problem by upgrading Articulate too (just not sure how that solves it but maybe it's a fluke)

That's odd. Please log exact steps to replicate on an issue here: https://github.com/shazwazza/articulate/issues
Oddly enough I've tested with vietnamese before and everything worked fine: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/issues/88

Some reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37990853/asp-net-question-marks-instead-of-arabic-text
what do you have in your globalization element of your web.config?
UTF-8 should be the one being used for these things if not specified

Have the same issue with Cyrillic characters.The database has ??? values.

Can confirm that upgrading Umbraco to 7.5.10 has resolved the problem. Cyrillic values are stored correctly in database.
