Ah, it was I who misunderstood, Eli. I don't use these characters when typing
in Emacs, only when preparing texts in layout applications.

The ZWNJ seems to work fine, but the ZWJ does not produce the behavior
documented here:

    http://persian.nmelrc.org/persianword/zwj.htm

That is, ZWJ does not extend the heh into a "heh do chesm" (heh with two
eyes), it just adds space before or after the final-form (circular) heh.
