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

Unicode is full of codepoints with glyphs that can look similar to what we want, or may have a name that sounds like what we want, but neither of those are accurate parameters in deciding which codepoints shall be used for which purposes.

According to ISIRI 6219 (<http://persian-computing.org/references/ISIRI/ISIRI-6219.html>, in Persian), the only Unicode codepoint to be used in Persian text for the Persian letter Heh is `U+0647`. (Also pay attention to the HEH+ZWJ representation of the letter on Table 5 in the standard.)

The ISIRI 6219 specification is based on Unicode recommendations and conversion tables from other Persian encodings/character sets to/from Unicode.

----

That said, any claims regarding use of `Heh Doachashmee` being preferred in Persian needs more evidence, as forms of specifications or data.
