It uses HTML encoding, which is readable regardless of the encoding you 
choose.
If you looked at it in the database it will look like
أخى يحيى

So now, it is not a good idea to store it that way. Normally, it is expected 
that when the page loads in utf-8, the user wouldn't change the encoding from 
the browser to cp-1256, or it would become an intentional call for 
headache :)
