 No idea.  What kind of information are you looking for?  If this
 is what you like to hear, yes using that character instead of
 slash, solves your poblem of entering short dates. :-)

Ok, here comes the more info from Chapter 8 of Unicode available
online at:

http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch08.pdf#G20596

It says:

Date Separator. U+060D ARABIC DATE SEPARATOR is used in Pakistan
and India between the numeric date and the month name when
writing out a date.  This sign is distinct from U+002F SOLIDUS,
which is used, for example, as a separator in currency amounts.

  BTW, Behdad is attending the Unicode Consortium's Technical Committee
  meeting right now, and later the ISO JTC1/SC2 ones. I'm sure the UTC
  meeting (which will be the first with a FarsiWeb member present) will
  have good news for us (which may include more changes and
  clarifications to the Bidirectional algorithm).

Yeah, I'm exceptionally happy with the outcome.  Since the
changes are highly technical, I don't go over them in this list.
