The UK Extended keyboard uses mostly the AltGr key to add diacritics to the letters a, e, i, n, o, u, w and y (the last two being used in Welsh) as appropriate for each character, as well as to their capitals. Pressing the key and then a character that does not take the specific diacritic produces the behaviour of a standard keyboard.
Control-Y is a common computer command. It is generated by holding Ctrl and pressing the Y key on most computer keyboards.

The positions of the "Z" and "Y" keys are switched. In English, the letter "y" is very common and the letter "z" is relatively rare, whereas in German the letter "z" is very common and the letter "y" is very uncommon. [1] The German layout places "z" in a position where it can be struck by the index finger, rather than by the weaker little finger.
ÿ is a Latin script character composed of the letter Y and the diaeresis diacritical mark. It occurs in French as a variant of ï in a few proper nouns, as in the name of the Parisian suburb of L'Haÿ-les-Roses [la.i le ʁoz] and in the surname of the house of Croÿ [kʁu.i] . [ 1 ]
