Writing Persian in terminal

Whenever i use some text editors such as "nano", "vim" or, whenever i want to insert some characters into files by "cat" command, if i want to write Persian text,there is a problem. Because terminal doesn't support right to left writing. now after some googling i solved this problem using a project with name "mlterm".
Whenever you want to use Persian text in terminal you can use this project that is a multilingual terminal.
for download it just type :
$ sudo apt-get install mlterm
after installing simply use this terminal by type
$ mlterm
to enabling you writing Persian text in terminal.
Another program that you can use is bicon .
add repository and download bicon from here.
then you can open a terminal with Persian support using below command :
$ gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=tterminal -x /usr/bin/bicon.bin
