Cyrillic letters mostly don’t map to Latin based on visual similarity.

If you’re going to use Ë just because it looks the same as the original Cyrillic, then logically you’d also use P instead of R, X instead of Kh, etc.

english orthography is so fucked up it's kinda fun seeing people desperate try to hold together different conventions loosely mapped to the phonetics they're supposed to represent
