Ȳ (or ȳ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet. Its form is derived from the Latin letter Y (Y 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.
