Arabic characters shows ¿¿¿¿¿¿ using sqlplus

Dear All,

As I installed Oracle 11gR2 on Windows 2008 with Arabic language package , created DB and import data from another existing database it contains both Arabic and English characters inside database tables.
Note : Inserting new record using forms accepting Arabic characters whereas selecting same row through shows "¿¿¿¿¿¿" due to Arabic keys enable.

selecting Arabic characters from sqlplus shows
select insured_name from schema Name.Table Name;

¿¿¿¿¿¿

My registry NLS_lang= American_America.AR8MSWIN1256

SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS;
