Research direction
The issue is about Arabic letters not being exported correctly in CSV or PDF. Likely a Unicode encoding problem in the export plugin. Examine the export code in the ui grid repository, possibly under 'plugins/export/', to find where CSV and PDF content is assembled. Ensure proper UTF 8 encoding, e.g., adding a BOM for CSV. There are no linked PRs or maintainer comments, so the contributor should first reproduce with a recent version and then propose a fix.
