Apparently the font chosen by your mlterm terminal doesn't include
Arabic glyphs. This is strange, because mlterm is a true-bidi terminal
('termbidi' should be set when you're using it) so it ought to know how
to display Hebrew and Arabic correctly even when mixed with Latin (what
gvim cannot do).
This is an mlterm problem, not a Vim problem, because Console Vim has
absolutely no control over which font-family to use in a terminal.
I don't know how to set the font in mlterm -- maybe you should make sure
that you have some Arabic monospace font(s) installed? or read the
mlterm manpage? -- but on my system, the attached two UTF-8 files
display perfectly in mlterm, in both Vim and cat, except that cat
displays the BOM as Z-over-N.
Best regards,
Tony.
