It isn't. That is, Persian YEH isn't available in CP1256.
I've seen some Farsi fonts and a common hack is to swap the isolate final
forms of Arabic Yeh (d237, U+064A) with those of Alef Maksura (d236,
U+0649), thus turning d237 into a Farsi yeh, and permitting d236 to be used
should they need
Bob's completely right. CP1256 is not adequate for Persian (Microsoft
confirms this). Systems that use it for Persian usually use the hack that
Bob described.

CP1256 has never supported FARSI YEH.
No it's not. Persian locale is only avaiable on Windows 2000 and XP, which
are Unicode based.
Unfortunately, it is a bit more complicated then that.
GetLocaleInfo/LOCALE_IDEFAULTANSICODEPAGE for Farsi does

Can someone tell me how the Persian YEH (U+06CC) is dealt with

patches but I don't think that the MS folks ever did an Urdu patch.

Depends on what version of Windows you are on. Farsi is not officially
supported in all code points for cp1256. This one is supported in WinME,
Win2000, and WinXP. It maps to 0xED on cp1256 when it does map?
