Latin Y with macron

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" ([]). In Latin, this only occurs in loanwords. It is used in Cornish, and was used in Livonian.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
