Can you give more detail about what you have done? What character
encoding do you have your browser set to? In Firefox, do View ->
Character Encoding to see what it is set to when you are on the input
page? Internet Explorer and other browsers have other options. Are
you sending the query directly to Solr or is it going through some
other servlet? If you are doing this, and _IF_ I recall correctly, I
believe you need to tell your servlet the input is UTF-8 before doing
anything else with the request.
See http://kickjava.com/src/filters/
SetCharacterEncodingFilter.java.htm for a Servlet Filter that does
this (it's even Apache licensed!) You will need to hook it up in
your web.xml.

this doesn't look like a query error .. and that doesn't look like a
solr
URL, this looks something you have in front of Solr.
: </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 400 - Query parsing error: Cannot parse
: '????': '*' or '?' not allowed as first character in
that looks like a Solr error. i'm guessing that your app isn't
dealing
with the UTF8 correctly, something is substituting "?" characters in
place
of any character it doesn't understand - and Solr thinks you are
trying
to
do a wildcard query.
have you tried querying solr directly (in your browser or using curl)
for
your arabic word?
