Re: [predefined-counter-styles] Correction to the persian-alphabetic counter style

> The correct form is not to use ZWJ, but rather to use the round form of heh. So of the options you show graphically, the one on the right is preferred. I believe that is also the one I used in the jsFiddle.

@Huji I paid a little more attention and realised that the jsfiddle is using <span class="codepoint" translate="no"><span lang="fa" dir="rtl">&#x06BE;</span> [<span class="uname">U+06BE ARABIC LETTER HEH DOACHASHMEE</span>]</span> for HEH, rather than <span class="codepoint" translate="no"><span lang="fa" dir="rtl">&#x0647;</span> [<span class="uname">U+0647 ARABIC LETTER HEH</span>]</span>.  I don't think the former is correct for Persian (it's used in Central Kurdish, Kashmiri, Luri, Western Panjabi, Sindhi, Saraiki, Urdu, and Uyghur, but not Persian as far as i'm aware).

This would then make my question about shaping of HEH moot. (I must admit i was surprised about the shaping - i should have looked closer.)
