Do you mean while collecting data? If yes, i must say it’s possible (but you should use the unicode for this).

Yes the keyboard for the phone is Arabic
when we collected data the researchers write the phone number but kobo does not read it

6

Could you share a screenshot of the same. Maybe it would be helpful!

Did you try it with a unicode? Would you mind trying with a unicode? It should work.

There should be some installable app that can directly write in a unicode format for your PC. Try searching for one of them that best suits your requirement.
