As you can see this layout has several extra letters. Most notably the letter Ė. It will function as the E did in the old alphabet and Ə will be replaced by E. There are major advantages of Azeri OK! First, the open E sound is used far more often so it is better to have a non-special character for it. Second the visual aspect of falling between E and İ. Last but not least the linguistical part affects the other Turkic languages which do not distinguish between open E and short E (=Ė). E will represent the familiar open E sound as E does in their language. So it is better to use an Ė for a short E sound. Therefore the dot above ◌̇  is consistently used as diacritic for vowels. Using widespread characters (Ė, Ü, Ş) will ensure digital compatibility. Ergo diacritics are used consistently plus the often used special character Ə is replaced by the standard letter E!
