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 final or isolate of Arabic yeh for a borrowed word or
something.
