In the Dead Sea Scrolls, several other letters with Palaeo-Hebrew shapes are used as paragraph etc. markers.
Those would be Phoenician letters with RTL directionality used as markers in a traditional text. (That is given the current Roadmap which unifies Palaeo-Hebrew and Phoenician.)
So, if you wish, your shin could be submitted when they are--Elaine
The Samaritan shin is an LTR clone of, um, the Samaritan shin used in Western Biblical references.
