Now, that said, I am very keen to have the Samaritan shin encoded,
because this is used as a mark in the apparatus critici of the BHS

Pentateuchi textus Hebraeo-Samaritanus secundum). I'd be perfectly
happy to see it encoded as a Letterlike Symbol, since it is being
used as a symbol and not as a Samaritan letter.
Perhaps it must be in any case, due to directionality issues.
