Hi Amin,
a few things:
1) the farsi.txt you sent is using \u064a as the final letter of the word.
Shouldn't it be \u06CC?
According to the internet the \u064a is the arabic yeh, while \u06cc is the
arabic farsi yeh

2) there is a big problem with your persian_to_ utf.py
For the lookup function (the elif x[g] == ...) you can't use the "absolute"
form of the char.
For example the saddd. You are checking if the text has the isolated form of
the letter ("\ufeb9"). Instead you need to look for the "\u0635".

Now the opposite: for the yeeee Isolated form you put the "relative" form of
it (\u06cc).

3) The Persian needs to be a list with every chars. Otherwise the position
calculation will not work for any char.
What the script is doing is:
"is my neighbour char (that is not a harakat) an "arabic/farsi" letter?"

This is to make sure you don't have a middle position (or a beginning/final)
char connected to a latin letter, symbol, comma .... Also notice that the
hamza is included in the list of arabic letters. That's why I need to
manually count it out when calculating the position of the chars. I'm not so
sure this is 100% right though (i.e. I'm considering hamza as a word break,
but it seems sometimes it shouldn't be?).

Regards,
Dalai
