How to Type in Persian (Farsi) Online
Typnivo opens with an ISIRI 9147 virtual keyboard — the Iranian standard layout with Persian digits and ZWNJ. Click script keys on screen or type with your physical keyboard (QWERTY hints show the mapping).

Finglish (Pinglish) Typing Guide
Finglish lets you type Persian without a Persian keyboard. Type phonetically in Latin letters — salam becomes سلام, mersi becomes مرسی. Digraphs work: sh=ش, kh=خ, gh=غ, ch=چ, zh=ژ. Unlike Franco-Arabic, Finglish does not use numbers for Arabic sounds (no 3=ع). Press space after each word to commit conversion.
| Digraph | Letter | Sound |
|---|---|---|
| sh | ش | sh as in ship |
| kh | خ | ch as in Scottish loch |
| gh | غ | French r / voiced kh |
| ch | چ | ch as in chair |
| zh | ژ | s as in measure |
| th | ث | unvoiced th |
ZWNJ (نیمفاصله) — Half-Space Guide
ZWNJ (U+200C, نیمفاصله) is essential in Persian for prefixes (میروم), plurals (کتابها), and compound words. Press Shift+Space in the editor or use the ZWNJ quick-insert panel. ISIRI 9147 maps ZWNJ to the B key with Shift.
Persian vs Arabic Characters
Persian uses different Unicode forms from Arabic: Persian yeh is ی (not Arabic ي), Persian kaf is ک (not ك). Persian adds four unique letters: پ چ ژ گ. Text copied from Arabic websites may need normalization — use the Writing Utilities panel to fix ي→ی and ك→ک.
| Character | Persian | Arabic |
|---|---|---|
| Yeh | ی (U+06CC) | ي (U+064A) |
| Kaf | ک (U+06A9) | ك (U+0643) |
| Pe | پ | — (not in Arabic) |
| Che | چ | — |
| Zhe | ژ | — |
| Gaf | گ | — |
