DP Official Documentation - Proofreading

A yogh is a letter that was used in Middle English to represent various sounds, including g and the consonant sound of y. At DP, this letter often appears in texts from the Early English Text Society, as well as other Middle English projects. Some examples of this letter are:

Capital Yogh c.png Yogh uc eemm.png Yogh uc selections.png
Lower Case Yogh l.png Yogh lc eemm.png Yogh lc eemm2.png

The capital form is larger and usually does not drop down as far below the line as the lower case yogh. In blackletter projects, a z may be used to represent a yogh, because of the similarity in shape.

The yogh is available as part of the Medievalist supplement character suite.
