If you want to support more Persian notation the most important (and universal) is probably the symbol for tahrir, which is a small o above (if stems up) or below (if stems down) and in the middle of two equal notes. Something like o o <- tahrir O O O | | | | | |
it indicates a small grace note of undefined pitch. There are some symbols for tar/setar and santur as well, let me know if you want to see any.
