How to type Y on each device

Copy

Click a keycap, then paste with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. This works in any app.

Windows

Hold Alt and type the code on the numeric keypad. Codes are in the table below. On a laptop without a keypad, copy and paste is faster.

Mac

For common marks, press an Option dead key, then y. Example: Option + E, then y for acute. Other forms are in Character Viewer (Control + Command + Space).

Word & Docs

In Word, use Ctrl plus the accent, then y, or type the Unicode hex and press Alt + X. In Google Docs use Insert → Special characters and search the letter name.
