The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

Shin (also spelled Šin (šīn) or Sheen) is the twenty-first and penultimate letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic sīn س‎ and šīn ش‎‎‎, Aramaic šīn 𐡔, Hebrew šīn ש‎, Phoenician šīn 𐤔 and Syriac šīn ܫ.

The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Sigma (Σ) (which in turn gave Latin S and the German letter ẞ and Cyrillic С), and the letter Sha in the Glagolitic and Cyrillic scripts (, Ш).

The South Arabian and Ethiopian letter Śawt is also cognate. The letter šīn is the only letter of the Arabic alphabet with three dots with a letter corresponding to a letter in the Northwest Semitic abjad or the Phoenician alphabet.
