>I meant it's not called umlaut. Yes, it's called yo. Another letter is j (i kratkoe). I haven't read Russian books recently and I forgot for a moment if it's indicated in texts or not (I believe it does). Yo usually doesn't have double dots on it in books.

Just checked the jokes on http://www.fark.ru/go/117225 - no dots there either.
