How the script works 📝

Two things about the Persian script. First, like Arabic, it is written from **right to left**. Second, Persian uses the **Perso-Arabic** alphabet: it shares most letters with Arabic but adds **four of its own** - پ (pe), چ (che), ژ (zhe) and گ (gaf) - for sounds Arabic does not have.
