Djaber Meghar, pleased to meet. In my choice of profession I often encounter people with different ethnic backgrounds. In some very rare and extreme occasions we sometimes need to collaborate in order to enclose the contract. The result is quite enchanting when it appears to be more foreign characters in there than the opposite. Now onto your request... Arabic letters are encrypted in Unicode. To accomplish what you request we need to tell the python interpreter that we want to use different encoding and refer to the chart as followed below: TEST_FILE = codecs.open('test.ar', 'r',encoding='utf-8') p = re.compile(unicode('^????', 'utf-8'), re.U) for line in TEST_FILE: match = p.match(line) if match: print line.rstrip() print match.group().rstrip() TEST_FILE.close() Reference: Arabic letters - http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf Let me know if you need any further assistance, Mr. Dr.

Python 3 works out of the box with ask Unicode characters. If you have to use Python 2 it's going to be more work.
