I have a more radical solution to the problem of implementing the Farsi <heh
+ hamzeh> in the Persian IT standard. In the Unicode system, a given shape
or glyph can be encoded with more than one code value. For example, the
number {7} in the Farsi character set and in the Arabic character sets look
identical in appearance, but have different code numbers assigned to them
(i.e. 06F7 and 0667 respectively). The same treatment can be given to <heh +
hamzeh> . If the current implementation of this glyph in Unicode is not
compatible with the Farsi usage, the best answer to that is to recommend to
the Unicode Consortium the adoption of another glyph, or the implementation
of the same glyph but with a different code value, and with the added
attributes of being analyzable into the correct Unicode components which are
compatible with the Farsi script. This can then be safely added to the
Persian IT standard without a problem, and software developers and font
designers everywhere will know exactly how to implement the glyph, and there
will be no reason for any confusion over the issue. I hope that the FarsiWeb
development team are listening, and will give this suggestion serious
consideration.
