Cyrillic letter
Yn (Ꙟ ꙟ) is: an archaic Cyrillic letter. It looks like the Cyrillic letter Psi (Ѱ ѱ) with its upper half turned upside down. But the letter mostly looks like an arrow pointing vertically up (↑).
It was used in the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, where it represented the sounds ※, ※, and ※ at the "beginning of words." In the modern Romanian alphabet it is replaced by ⟨în⟩, ⟨îm⟩, or ⟨î⟩.
