title: How to solve Arabic value problem in Hibernate query
body: <p>When I use an Arabic value in an HQL query, it returns null.</p>
  
  <p>I added the unicode and UTF in MySQL datasource.</p>
  
  <p>I got SQL generated from the Hibernate query and ran it in workbench, and it gave me a result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Query q = se.createQuery("from Days where d_name = 'الخميس' " );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I run the generated SQL query on workbench and it gives me a result. I also tried to query with d_id and it runs without problems, so i think that the problem is with Arabic values. </p>
  
  <p>I expect the result to come back as an object, 
  but it returns null!</p>
