First you need to check the following
1- Check the locale that installed on the system.
Code:
$locale -a

Code:
$/usr/sbin/swlist -l fileset International

or
Code:
 $swlist -l product | grep -i Inter

If it was not installed, you can install it from the HP-UX Core media via swinstall.

Once the language has been installed, then you can proceed to set the LANG environment variable for the user requiring the Arabic character support.
Have look a here.
For Arabic (Saudi Arabia), as an example use any of the following:
1) ar_SA.arabic8
2) ar_SA.iso88596
3) ar_SA.utf8


For example, if you are using ar_SA.arabic8, then:

Set for .dtprofile or .profile :

Code:
export LANG=ar_SA.arabic8

Set for .cshrc or .login,

Code:
setenv LANG ar_SA.arabic8

For further information, look at the document "Configuring HP-UX for Different Languages" at:


For the other part of the question
Quote:

If you mean some site to give shell there are such sites such as polarhome.com
If you mean some VM to run on some x86 or x64 VM Player , I believe this is not possible HP-UX runs only on IA64 or PA-RISC architectures only .
