Nope. If it stands for any single sound it is [&]. The use
of я for {r} is a 'feature' -- or f**kture as one 'net
friend calls such thing -- of ignoramuses' faux Cyrillics,
when something should look like Cyrillic but be 'readable'
to those who know no Cyrillics, as when they wrote the
Bulgarian Krum's name Кгцм {kgcm} (IIRC) in the Harry Potter
movie. Painful!
