{{SpecialChars}}

Ȳ (minuscule: ȳ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from Y with the addition of a macron (¯).

In modern dictionaries and textbooks for Latin and Old English, ȳ may be used to indicate a long "y" ({{IPAblink|yː}}). In Latin, this only occurs in loanwords. It is used in Cornish, and was used in Livonian.[https://www.kirj.ee/public/Linguistica_Uralica/2007/issue_1/ling-2007-1-2.pdf Livonian Orthography.]
