For Turkish and Slavic languages there is actually
a demand for at least one Yeru letter to distinguish
the common i  and Yeru. In cyrillic it is "ы".
It should be romanized as "y".
And the Yot /j/ should be romanized as "j".
I.e. for Turkish:
yazım - should be : jazym
For Russian:
ярлык - should be : jarlyk

Simple, asscii input, no ambiguity.
How many exercises in futility could be avoided...

And just in case still its not clear: this is not
solved by adding dirt around the letter: if there is
enough significance of the phoneme distinction then
one should add a distinct letter for a syntax in question.

And not like: well it is not so significant then we'll
add a bit of dirt, it is more significant - we add some more dirt.
It is not how the textual representation is made effecient.
