Thanks. BTW, in locale, I noticed that there is no am and pm for

requirements* not unicode level encoding.
You are correct and encouraged to put Persian in with Arabic for unicode
purposes.
At the level of the current conversation, however, modern

Well, it depends on your point of view. Instead of bringing the
Pashto or Ordu case, lets have a look at the western equivalent.
They all call it Latin Script (khatte laatin), right? It's not
about language or font-style. And in computer software that's
what really matters.

Thanks a lot Roozbeh for making the release.
