As requested, this is a tutorial showing users how to handle unicode on websites like Twitter. This can be used to convert things like special language symbols, things like smileys/emoticons, and really any of the symbols that you will come across as unicode as you parse or stream.

Since the main request was for Arabic, that is the example used here, though it works across the board.
