What would you do if you need to transliterate a W into Russian, since there is no W in the cyrillic alphabet? Would you change it to В (V) or would you put something along the lines of уа (oo-a, not я even though it looks like it)?

Ять looks like the soft sign (Ь) with the upper vertical line crossed by a shorter hoirizontal line. Unfortunately, I have no "old-style" fonts on this computer.
