Is this about classical Syriac (iso 639-3 code syc) or is this about
modern Syriac:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639_macrolanguage#syr

Wikipedia> syr is the ISO 639-3 language code for Syriac.
Wikipedia> There are two individual language codes assigned:
Wikipedia> 
Wikipedia>     aii – Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
Wikipedia>     cld – Chaldean Neo-Aramaic

> currency_symbol   "¤"

XDR is a quite weird currency code:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_drawing_rights

¤ is the generic currency sign.

If this is about the modern living language and if the country is SY,
shouldn‘t the currency be Syrian pound?:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_pound

i.e.

int_curr_symbol   "SYP "
currency_symbol   "£S"

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/seed/main/syr.xml#L1086

has

		<currencies>
			<currency type="SYP">
				<symbol draft="unconfirmed">ل.س.‏</symbol>
			</currency>
		</currencies>

If the country is the modern Syria, then maybe add

int_prefix     "963"

to LC_TELEPHONE

?
