𐔢
U+10522 "𐔢" Elbasan Letter Y is a character from the historical Elbasan script, which was used in the 18th and 19th centuries to write the Albanian language, primarily in the region of central Albania. This specific letter represents the sound equivalent to the modern Latin letter "Y" or the Albanian "Y" (pronounced like the French "u" or the English "ee" with rounded lips), and it is part of a unique alphabet that was developed for religious and educational texts. The Elbasan script, including this letter, is notable for its distinct and independent design, bearing no direct resemblance to Greek or Cyrillic scripts.
