Oh, Manichaean is certainly going to be encoded. The German scholars
I met with in Prague last year have been extremely helpful in working
out the specifications needed. And I am supposed to meet with Iranian
experts later this year to finalize things.
Regarding Samaritan, there is a group of modern users certainly. This
page http://www.orindalodge.org/kadoshsamaritan.php has a number of
interesting links on it. Masonic scholars apparently differentiate
between Hebrew and Samaritan.
