Following up on this discussion, note that, as documented in this section of the Unicode Pipeline, on 2025-Jan-22 the code point U+05C8 was provisionally assigned to the name HEBREW POINT HEAVY SHEVA, as a result of proposal L2/24-274.

(I am noting this here in a new discussion because I caused that original discussion to become long and off-topic, though (to me) very interesting!)

Overall, this is great news. The only drawback is that in my opinion, "HEAVY SHEVA" is not a good name. I have submitted a document to the UTC (Unicode Technical Committee) suggesting that the name be reverted to what was original proposed: SHEVA NA.
