transliteration - English to Ukrainian

[Edward Dumanis]

I have a different question.
Both Library of Congress transliteration system and  International
Phonetic Alphabet use umlauts for Russian letter Ё (yo). However, the
official transliterations from, say, the State Department use no
umlauts but two letters YO. At the same time, they usually do not use
apostrophes for a soft sign simply dropping this letter in
transliteration.
As a result, the same last name ending in Ukrainian as "ЬОВ" or in
Russian as "ЁВ" might be transliterated as ending with "OV", "YOV",
and "EV."
Is there any rule to follow?

Sincerely,

Edward Dumanis
