Arabic Characters turn to question marks

I imported tables from SQL with arabic fields. In the query editor everything is good, but when going to the data view, the charachters turn to question marks

 

I went to File > Option and settings > Options > CURRENT FILE > Regional Settings and changed the Locale for import to Arabic but nothing changed. 

 

anyone can suggest a solution, would i be thankful.

    If you connect to Sql Server Database, please use "Sql server database" connector instead of "ODBC" connector.
