Hi Steven ,

yes you are right, sorry i am a bit confused.

i checked again and the correct one is  "zhe"/U+698. 

It seems the word is in the range but my customer says it shouldn't be.

I think problem occurs because  "zhe" is a Persian letter outside the Arabic
alphabet. In farsi alphabet this letter is not after the "س" letter but it's
unicode is bigger than "س" letter's and the searcher works with unicodes.
