Hmm, I don't think you need to do that probably, as the 'pedia is already going well and the issue is (as of now) nonexistent. But it might happen that in the future, Shan speakers might start to add content in different (Zawgyi) encoding which will be rendered as pseudo-Burmese gibberish in Unicode. In that case, someone would have to moderate and delete or convert those articles. There are good converters between Zawgyi and Unicode Burmese online, and I imagine they could also work for Shan.
