There are more such "niceties" e.g. between Arabic and
Hebrew, Hebrew and Samaritan or Hebrew and Syriac scripts:

 a) there exists mediaeval Karaite Biblical manuscripts,
in Hebrew, written in Arabic script with Hebrew vocalization
and accentuation signs

 b) Judaeo-arabic texts (both manuscripts and editions thereof)
written with Hebrew letters but with some Arabic signs (SHADDA,
vowel signs)

 c) Hebrew letters together with Samaritan vowel signs (especially
in the editions of the Samaritan Torah)

 d) Hebrew letters with (early) syriac diacritic signs. (OK, this
can be probably represented in Unicode easily with some general combining
diacritics).

I could provide evidence, If someone is interested in it.
