Yn (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_slavonic.css" />Ꙟ ꙟ) is an archaic Cyrillic letter. It was an innovation entirely unique to the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, not appearing in any other Cyrillic alphabet. It was derived from the Cyrillic glyph big yus.[1]

It was used in the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet, where it represented the sounds Script error: No such module "IPA"., Script error: No such module "IPA"., and Script error: No such module "IPA". at the beginning of words.[2] In the modern Romanian alphabet it is replaced by Template:Angbr, Template:Angbr, or Template:Angbr.

It was used interchangeably with big yus up until the years 1683-1688 when it began to only be used in word initial position.[1]

As few fonts contain the appropriate glyphs, the Upwards Arrow (↑) is sometimes substituted. The notable fonts that have included this glyph are FreeSerif and Segoe UI (since Windows 8).
