Those letters use no diacritics. They are just letters.

These are the letters with diacritic marks.

No. іе -> ё, іі -> ї, иі -> й. оу -> ў. They are just shortened, to write less.

Well, ў for once is not a shorthand for оу (e.g. слаўны, ўзяў). But it's beside the point, all diacritics are used to "write less".
