Yn (majuscule: Unicode|Ꙟ, minuscule: Unicode|ꙟ) is an archaic Cyrillic letter that was used in the Romanian Cyrillic alphabet which represented the sound of IPA| [ɨn] or IPA| [ɨm] . It is not used in modern writing. The appearance of this letter looks like an upwards arrow with a curl to the left. In the modern Romanian alphabet it is replaced by the letters "în" or "ân" (or "îm", "âm").

It is encoded in the Cyrillic Extended-B block of Unicode. The capital form of the character is given the code point U+A65E, and the lowercase form is given U+A65F. However, few fonts such as Code2000 contain the appropriate glyphs. Therefore, the Upwards Arrow (↑) is sometimes substituted.
