It should be "YO" (or "Yo").  Exactly as you provided in your previous
patches.

I am afraid that my description "Cyrillic -> Latin -> ASCII" was too
ambiguous, I am sorry about it.  Actually it is a list which says:
Convert Cyrillic "Ё" into Latin "Ë" if possible, otherwise to "YO" ("Yo").
We may stop using "Cyrillic -> Latin -> ASCII" picture as too ambiguous
and invent a better one.
