Depends on how used to Cyrillic you are.  My husband at one point realized
that he had been studying an awful lot of Church Slavonic of late when we
found ourselves stopped at a red light behind a car with the letters CHA
and some numbers in the license plate.  Without thinking, he immediately
read CHA as "sna."  Of course, then he thought twice, realized that it was
Roman uppercase, and laughed about it.

Us the character that way if you want to.  It makes enough sense.
