I recently came across this article http://www.khabgard.com/?id=844986758 which is endorsed by some other weblog authors. The author encourages using adifferent Yeh characters for middle and end placements. The author in fact uses U+064A(ARABIC LETTER YEH) for middle-of-word and beginning-of-word Yeh's and uses U+06CC (ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH) for end-of-word Yeh's. I believe he is giving bad advice to people. His jsutification is that people with older MS-Windows systems will see texts correctly by his suggestion. This is bad principle to bend standards to support non-comppliant platforms. I am going to send an e-mail to him about the issue, but I want to confirm my understanding of the issue before contacting the author.
Furthemore, while he correctly asks people to use U+06F4, U+06F5, and U+06F6 in place of U+0664, U+0665, and U+0666, he stops there and does not extend this advice to all digits. Is there a trustworhty easy-to-read document somewhere on the Internet that mentions all this issues that I can refer people to it? _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
