Encoding Issues, help ZPL Code print headache

Greetings,

I Have a Zebra ZD220t and i do need to print some labels which have Arabic and English on the same label , i did tried all the possible options and it seems that somehow XOJO is messing up the Arabic part.

I imported the source csv but using a plugin on another project , i use Chilkat to load the csv and on the file encoding , because it comes from a windows machine i put csv.LoadFile2(FileName, "windows-1256" ) which made the text to show properly.

Now, on my side i try testing one test code found on the internet which is

#If TargetWindows Then
  
  Dim printer As New directPrint
  Dim job As Integer
  
  If printer.Open("barcode") Then
    job= printer.StartDoc("BClabel")
    
    If job > 0 Then
      
      If printer.StartPage Then
        
        Call printer.Write("^XA")
        
        Call printer.Write("^PW464") ' 58 mm * 8 dots per mm = 464 dots
        Call printer.Write("^LL312") ' 39 mm * 8 dots per mm = 312 dots
        
        Call printer.Write("^CI28")
        Call printer.Write("^CWZ,E:TT0003M_.TTF")
        Call printer.Write("^FT60,100^PA0,1,1,1^AZN,30^FDBonjour en Arabe : صباح الخي^FS")
        
        Call printer.Write("^XZ")
        
        printer.EndPage
      End If
      printer.EndDoc
    End If
    
    printer.Close
  End If
#EndIf

But when printing it comes like this :

Which makes me think that there is some fishy with the encoding of the text and the way it is handled.

I looked on xojo Encodings part and i did not found any

windows-1256 encoding

So can someone help me here and tell me what encoding i should use in order to show properly.

Thanks
