Those are letters of the Latin script which are used primarily in transliteration. (Note that other letters of the Latin script, including 'a', 'b', 'c', ... are *also* used in transliteration.) The Latin *script* was not encoded solely because it is used in transliteration of other scripts. The fact that some characters in the Latin script got into the encoding because of somebody's transliteration conventions is irrelevant. --Ken
