[android-developers] push notifications in arabic

hi im developing an application for a newspaper in arabic and ive implemented push notifications for breaking news, the push works great but i have a problem with the arabic text being sent with the push... when the client receives the message the arabic letters are replaced with question marks ( ???? ) .
any ideas about what encoding i should use ? 
thanks a lot
