Thank you for your replies, I didn't have time to test all your advices, but concerning notepad2 I can say that it doesn't allow the Arabic script to be edited correctly, as you cannot move within the text with the cursor properly. If you try to select text, it mixes it up from the other side. Windows Notepad works fine.

Notepad2 -> Menu Bar -> File -> Encoding -> UTF-8 2. Instead of typing RTL texts directly into Notepad2, I type the texts in Windows Notepad and then copy-paste it to Notepad2.
