Note that what you are doing is properly "transcription" rather than
"transliteration".

I fear you have undertaken something hopeless. One could transliterate
U+0429 as SHCH or S^C^ or any number of other things, but that is only
appropriate for Russian. In Bulgarian, the only natural transcription
of U+0429 is SHT.
