If you don't want to use an apostrophe, then consider a diaeresis. It used to be common in English to mark vowels that come after vowels, but need to be pronounced separately, with a diaeresis for example:

noÃ¶ne
coÃ¶rdinate
ZoÃ«

Also, this format is used in Lord of The Rings, e.g. in FÃ«anor, to make sure the e is pronounced separately. (You can read this for more details.)

So your examples would be

SÃ¿an
SeÃ¯c

It doesn't work for Ashe. I'm not sure what you'd do other than an apostrophe there. Since it's a transliteration, maybe spell it differently in English, e.g. Asshay.
