I thought it was also/could be written like this: ¥, which explains why so many signs say "Ye Olde Slamdammerie," because in Old English it would have been "¥e Olde Cholmondeley," pronounced like "The Old Featherstonehaugh," but people think it looks older with a ¥ so they use a Y.
But I could be wrong.
