Scott, I'm still seeing the same problem.
I opened pizza.owl in TBC, added a line to the rdfs:label for the American
pizza, containing an Arabic word جيزان {...@ar} . I saved it, and ran the
following query:
SELECT *
WHERE {
?subject rdfs:label ?label
}
which gives me a set of results, including my (unchanged) Arabic label.
Then I did Export Results to File, and entered pizza.xls as the name, and
Tab-separated Spreadsheet as the type.
The resultant file is attached. I opened it several ways, and asked
someone else to check it out. As far as we can tell, it really has ??????
in the place of the Arabic text.
What am I doing wrong?
(Note for the Arabic-knowledgeable people out there--I realize this is not
the name of a pizza, but that is not important for this problem...)

There could be issues with your file or the program you are using to
view the tab-delimited file? As a test, open the pizza.owl file in
TopBraid > Examples and enter the following query.
SELECT *
WHERE {
?subject rdfs:subClassOf owl:Thing .
?subject rdfs:label ?label
}
The query will find a number of Portuguese labels The .txt file is
generated as expected. There aren't any special characters in this
file, but if you add some, you will find that they display ok in
editors that recognize the characters.
You can try sending a sample and we'll look into it.
