----------------------------------------
Hi Paul, thank you for the feedback.
Well, as shown in the attached screenshot, the XmlHttpRequest object is indeed
encoded with UTF-8. The "Accept-Language" header is English but I doubt this
has any effect on the encoding.
Very intriguing and puzzling. I'm beginning to suspect that the fieldlookup.js
script is doing some processing to the text before submitting it to the server
that changes the encoding. I'll keep digging, this is one well hidden bug!

> Components: ALL COMPONENTS

> Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb
> Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
> Priority: Minor

> Any field in a form that uses the <lookup target-form-name="WhateverForm"/>
> would not return results when searching in Arabic. I suspect the main
> offender is javascript/jQuery when parsing user input.
> For example, if I go to https://localhost:8443/ordermgr/control/findorders
> and click on "Party ID", and search the firstname or lastname in arabic, no
> values are returned and the value in the search box changes from arabic to
> some weird encoding ( e.g. "حسن" becomes Øس٠)
> Also, after some investigation, I came to the realization that this only
> happens when the lookup field has presentation="layer", if however, the
> presentation="window" then it works normally which leads me to conclude
> definitely that this is javascript/jQuery issue of parsing input data. More
> specifically, this is javascript not processing with the correct encoding
> (unicode in this case). I know this because if I paste the unicode
> representation directly to the input box then it searches correctly
