@Yanar-AlDaghestani Can you give the following command "chcp 1256" and then check if the arabic characters are shown properly?

There are 2 issues:
1)The arabic characters are displayed to the left of the cursor instead of the right. So they start to appear over the prompt and messed the display.
2) The spacing between characters is too wide so they don't appear attached.
