U+021D "ȝ" Latin Small Letter Yogh is a historical letter used primarily in Middle English and Older Scots orthography, representing a sound similar to the modern "y" or the voiced velar fricative. Originating from the Old English insular form of the letter "g," it was commonly employed in words like "night" or "through" before being largely replaced by "gh" and "y" in modern spelling. Though no longer part of the standard English alphabet, yogh remains important in historical linguistics and medieval manuscript studies.
