Both symbols (micro sign, ohm sign) combine with Latin letters
to form multiples of units: micrometre, megaohm; even microohm.
Therefore I think one might well regard micro sign and ohm sign
as some kind of “pseudo-Latin” letters.
Typographically, yes.

You seem to misinterpret what I wrote by going exactly the
encoding of a Syriac Aliph-Wasla remains open. None of these options
