[XeTeX] Why I do get nonsense characters when I use unicode characters inside \message with XeTeX?

[Vafa Khalighi]

Thanks for the explanation. Indeed I am using \message here. \پیام is the
Persian equivalent of \message which I have used here. I also am now
attaching the log file. The tex source that I sent is the original one and
if you run xelatex on that, you also should get the same log file.
