The newest phonetics course book uses /x\/ for 'sj' and /s\/ for
'tj', which overall seems reasonable. All we need now is to get
the IPA to include the proper [8\] symbol; it's no fun to have to
use cludges like ʚ̝ (U+029A U+031D) or u\_O. Properly it could be
[2_O] but that looks even worse when you already have [2].
