I never know if your questions are real or rhetorical.
"Veyz" is not a Unicode name, it's a term used in the Yiddish context for
bet with rafe. It normally occurs only in words of Hebrew origin.
The Unicode name is HEBREW LETTER BET WITH RAFE.
SIN DOT is a Unicode name (in full HEBREW POINT SIN DOT) for the dot used
to distinguish sin from shin. Sin, again, is only used in Hebrew borrowings.
Yiddish normally writes shin with no dot.
