 I see. The font I use shows lower case 'L' the same as upper case 'I'.
 For what it is worth, according to ISO C99, if __STDC_ISO_10646__
 macro is defined, you can use the l (lower case 'L') modifier for
 char (%c) format to print a UNICODE char:
 
 Is the upper case i (eye) for printf in the ISO C standard?
 
No it isn't.  ISO C only reserves lowercase letters.  
'I' is defined by glibc for both printf and scanf.

Hello Mohsen,

 Does Glibc support persian numbers? 

Yes. This is what 'I' flag defined for.  (see printf manual part 3)
You can change your '%d' and '%f'  with '%Id' and '%If' in printf
parameters like this:

printf (%Id, 12345);

And you will see Persian digits if you set you locale to fa_IR.

For reading localized digits, it is not implemented correctly but it is
under development.

 Is there any application in linux supporting persian numbers?Should
 this support be added to any application that is supposed to support
 persian language?
 
Gedit is going to be the first application which support Persian digits.
It would be in the next version.

 If think you wanted to say %lc -- the length modifier l is applied to
 char type:
 
 printf(%lc, 0x06f3);// arabic-indic digit 3
 
No. I exactly meant 'I' flag which does what he wants.
Check printf man page part 3 and look for 'Arabic' or 'Persian'.
