> I'm trying to find out some information about the extended
> Arabic character KEHEH (06A9), which the code chart indicates
> is used in the Persian (Farsi) language. Staff familiar with
> Persian in the library use the Arabic letter KAF (0643)
> instead of this and the two characters look the same to them.
> What is the difference? If no difference, why two code points?

> This was noticed as soon as we tried using the Farsi(Persian)
> keyboard in Windows 2000. It contains the KEHEH character
> but does not have a KAF. I have already made inquiries of
> Microsoft about this and the character that looks like the
> KAF to us definitely maps to 06A9.
>
> Is there an expert in the Persian language who could help?
