title: How to fix reversed arabic characters mixed with english in SQL server
body: <p>I have a sql server database has table column contains arabic and english characters in the same field just like  <code>Oracle اوراكل</code>  </p>
  
  <p>Seeking your help to split the arabic characters from english ones to reverse them. as the arabic characters don't have a specific positions in the field, start, end or in the middle of field.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong> The characters come from a legacy IBM mainframe application, and are stored in the wrong order, i.e. they are stored in the order they should be displayed left to right, instead of the order they are to be read. </p>
  
  <p>What is needed is to make them display correctly in other applications.</p>
