When Romanizing Russian, how would I write out the small b symbol, the one that hardens the pronunciation?

Not the one that symbolizes the sound of "b", but the one that makes you pronounce the word differently; makes you pronounce it harder?
Sorry if I'm being unclear. It's just the only thing I need to learn to do.

I think if you’re transliterating to English, there’s no specific need to do that one letter
Neither the one that makes it softer (although the softer one does come with a soft "y" sound after the softened consonant)
Hope I helped
you write it with an apostrophe ‘
You don’t need to mention ъ (hard sign) when romanizing Russian. For ь (soft sign) you can use an apostrophe (however, the previous answer means also ь (soft), not ъ (hard) ), but this is not neccessary too. This is all if you mean to use romanized Russian in chats or letters. For academic purposes and for teaching the articulation system there are used special signs and characters.
