Both the Persian (Farsi) keyboard and the Devanagari keyboard include both ZWJ and 
ZWNJ. ZWJ is 1+Shift+Ctrl, while ZWNJ is 2+Shift+Ctrl. The problem appears with the 
reference tool. I've notified the folks who maintain that site. Thanks for pointing 
out the problem.

FWIW, the same keys are supported by three Arabic, both Divehi and both Syriac, Urdu, 
and many of our Indic keyboards.

Which also means that the layouts a bad reference for keyboard layout 
implementors/designers. MS Farsi keyboard layout also lacks the ZWNJ (which is very 
frequent in Persian) and ZWJ. MS developers have been made aware of this long ago.
