    You’re right. For Arabic and Persian, was trying to simplify the idea of an intitial, medial, final, and isolated form and map them to latin upper and lowercase.

    For those interested, the same letter can take different shapes depending on where it appears in a word. For example, the same letter ‘H’ can be:

    • ـح
    • ـحـ
    • حـ
    • ح
