Assuming that SendSms.getMessage() returns a String, what did you intend with this line?

String message = new String(object.getMessage().getBytes(), "UTF-8");

Encoding and decoding the message is a waste at best—if it works, you will just get back the string you started with. And it will only work if the default encoding is UTF-8. In this case, it's corrupting the message.

When you encode a String with getBytes(), the platform default encoding is used. Unless the system's native character set supports Arabic, any Arabic character will be replaced with a supported character, usually ?.

Try this instead:

String message = object.getMessage();
