str1=new String(bytes);
System.out.println("Arabic :"+str1);

Answer 1

You should use the a String contructor that allows you to specify the charset with an argument like String(byte[], Charset) (No Charset in J2ME) or String(byte[], String). Otherwise the byte array will be decoded using the platform default which may not be UTF-8.

Example:

 byte[] utf8bytes = ... //Byte array containing UTF-8 as bytes.
 String string = new String(utf8bytes, "UTF-8");

Answer 2

The below code can be use for displaying arabic text in J2ME

String s=new String("\u0628\u06A9".getBytes(), "UTF-8");

where \u0628\u06A9 is the unicode of two arabic letters
