It isn't. That is, Persian YEH isn't available in CP1256.
I've seen some Farsi fonts and a common hack is to swap the isolate final
forms of Arabic Yeh (d237, U+064A) with those of Alef Maksura (d236,
U+0649), thus turning d237 into a Farsi yeh, and permitting d236 to be used
should they need
Bob's completely right. CP1256 is not adequate for Persian (Microsoft
confirms this). Systems that use it for Persian usually use the hack that
Bob described.

CP1256 has never supported FARSI YEH.
No it's not. Persian locale is only avaiable on Windows 2000 and XP, which
are Unicode based.
Unfortunately, it is a bit more complicated then that.
GetLocaleInfo/LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE for Farsi does

Can someone tell me how the Persian YEH (U+06CC) is dealt with in a CP1256
context? Has the official mapping changed from the following page?

Or perhaps the 0xFF YEH BARREE is assumed to be Persian YEH in the Persian
locale.
