It seems that we do actually need two new character pairs, this one and also the soft sign lookalike - unless it is considered acceptable to use the Cyrillic characters in Latin text cf. the use of Latin Q and W in Cyrillic Kurdish.
LATIN LETTER TONE SIX **is** the SOFT SIGN clone into Latin, and should be used for Pan-Turkic. I've suggested, but perhaps not loudly enough, that the reference glyph be modified to be more soft-sign like.
