Hello everyone, 8)
I am using Code::Blocks version 20.03 and I am facing some issues with supporting Arabic characters in my program. I would like to know the best ways to ensure that my program supports Arabic characters correctly. Could you please help me

What do you mean?
CodeBlocks is just an IDE.
I assume you are programming in C++, if so then It's something related to the C++ compiler and the encoding you use to write your program. It's recommended to use UTF8 encoding as It supports wide range of writing systems.
Some Terminals/Consoles don't support no-ascii/no-Latin characters. so you should choose a suitable terminal.

--- Quote ---Code::Blocks is not a compiler, nor a linker. Release packages of Code::Blocks may include a compiler suite (MinGW/GCC), if not provided by the target platform already. However, this is provided "as-is" and not developed/maintained by the Code::Blocks development team.

I think you are in for a  steep learning curve. Code::Blocks itself uses wxWidgets to implement its GUI. You could also use it if need be. In addition, the Font used to display your Arabic script may well make a difference. A quick look at Unicode Blocks that mention Arabic shows:
Arabic                                  0600
Arabic Supplement                       0750
Arabic Extended-B                       0870
Arabic Extended-A                       08A0
Arabic Presentation Forms-A             FB50
Arabic Presentation Forms-b             FE70
Arabic Extended-C                      10EC0
Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols 1EE00
Note that any code points above 10000 will force the usage of surrogate pairs when using UTF-16, as Unicode uses 21 bits to denote code points. You might want to look at the following:
* wxWidgets Unicode support: https://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.2/overview_unicode.html
* Unicode Design Principals: https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode16.0.0/core-spec/chapter-2/#G128
* International Components for Unicode: https://icu.unicode.org/
