Hey guys 
I used a the placeholder for my header links, but the text was all in Arabic and when I published the pages they appeared all messed up
like this: u0639%u0646 %u0627%u0644%u0645%u0648%u0642%u0639
This is not a problem of char-set, char-set problem do not appear like this.
Any suggestions?

A few google searches seems to indicate it's a non-standard form of unicode url encoding supporting by IE only. Here's some links on that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#Non-standard_implementations
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/005539.html
http://www.technicalinfo.net/papers/URLEmbeddedAttacks.html (search for %u in page)
Maybe IE is submitting the content like that when you save it? Are you using IE? Does is happen when you save the placeholder values with Firefox? There must be a way to disable it in IE.

indeed I'm using IE. and yes it happens only when I save it. Just now I tried saving it in FireFox as you suggested but it turned out the same result.
I tried writing the Arabic letters in the "ا" form and it worked for now.
I wouldn't mind fixing the problem completely though, it will make things easier for me.
best regards,
