To insert Arabic Data manually into your Phpmyadmin.

First you check either your database , table and column name is utf8 set or not. If these are not set to utf8 then first you set it then you may insert arabic data into you db table.

YOU MAY CHECK EACH OF THESE BY LOOKING BELOW EXAMPLE.

For Database:

SELECT default_character_set_name FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA S
WHERE schema_name = "schemaname";

For Tables:

SELECT CCSA.character_set_name FROM information_schema.`TABLES` T,
       information_schema.`COLLATION_CHARACTER_SET_APPLICABILITY` CCSA
WHERE CCSA.collation_name = T.table_collation
  AND T.table_schema = "schemaname"
  AND T.table_name = "tablename";

For Columns:

SELECT character_set_name FROM information_schema.`COLUMNS` C
WHERE table_schema = "schemaname"
  AND table_name = "tablename"

To read ,write and sort Arabic text in mysql database using php correctly, make sure that:

MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
MySQL connection collation: utf8_general_ci
your database and table collations are set to: utf8_general_ci or utf8_unicode_ci

Then, add this code in your php script when you connect to db:

mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8'");
mysql_query('SET CHARACTER SET utf8');

For more details

We can convert database or db table to uft8 supportive with below query:

ALTER DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE tablename CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE columnname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
