Yn (Ꙟ ꙟ) is an archaicCyrillic letter. It looks like theCyrillic 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 theRomanian Cyrillic alphabet, where it represented the sounds[ɨn],[ɨm], and[ɨ] at the beginning of words.[1] In the modernRomanian alphabet it is replaced by⟨în⟩,⟨îm⟩, or⟨î⟩.
