Source: Browser Default
U+1EF8 "Ỹ" Latin Capital Letter Y with Tilde is a precomposed glyph used in the Vietnamese alphabet to represent the vowel sound /ɨ/ pronounced with a falling then rising creaky tone, known as the "ngã" tone. This character is formed by combining the Latin letter Y with a tilde diacritic mark placed above it, and it is encoded in Unicode as part of the Latin Extended Additional block to support the accurate digital representation of Vietnamese text. The tilde indicates a specific tonal contour that modifies the pronunciation of the base vowel in the Vietnamese language.
