Might it be worth a mention that there was some ambiguity or interchangeability between Yy and the letter Ʀʀ, representing the Yr rune? Unclear if Ʀʀ was at any point considered a distinct letter or if it was ever used in place of Yy.
Y#name: Old English borrowed Latin Y to write the native Old English sound /y/ (previously written with the runeyr ᚣ).
Yr rune: * ᚣ, a variant of the u rune to express the Old English /y/ phoneme in Anglo-Saxon runic manuscript tradition, see Ur (rune) *
Anglo-Saxon runes: pronunciation of ȳr ᚣ as /y/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewmorrone1 (talk • contribs) 19:28, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ʀʀ is a modern character used for North Germanic runic transcription. It was not used by Anglo-Saxons and it is not used for Old English runic transcription. Hurlebatte (talk) 20:14, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Was there any sort of regional variation to this alphabet? Were certain characters only used by certain regions of England? Hardenam (talk) 02:25, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Let's keep the letter chart to the left side. This seems to be standard across most of Wikipedia. Hurlebatte (talk) 20:08, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
