Yogh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Yogh is a letter used in Middle English, representing y (SAMPA /j/) and various velar phonemes. Velars are sounds that are usually made when the back of the tongue is pressed against the soft palate. They include the k in cat, the g in girl and the ng (SAMPA /N/) in hang."
it looks a bit like a 3 and is new to me character yogh - pronounced either [joUk], [joUg], [joU] or [joUx] - came into Old English spelling via Irish

and to me from Stan Mapstone

Thorn was used in writing Middle English before the invention of the
printing press: Caxton, the first printer in England, brought with him type made in
Continental Europe, which lacked thorn, yogh, and edh. He substituted "y" in
place of thorn.

It is represented as þ (lowercase) or Þ (uppercase), and has the sound of
either an unvoiced th (such as in the English word "thick")

or the voiced form edh (such as in English "the" better example weather),
