Ȳ

Latin Y with macron

Ȳ (minuscule: ȳ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from Y with the addition of a macron (¯) and is a semi-back quin-open unrounded vowel.

In modern dictionaries and textbooks for Latin and Old English, ȳ may be used to indicate a long "y" ([]). In Latin, this only occurs in loanwords. It is used in Cornish, and was used in Livonian.[1]
