    Some people in my family line (a long time ago mind you) had “ÿ” in their surname, it came from a Russian name with “Се” (or maybe it came from the Polish counterpart spelled with “Sie”?) which they spelled with “Sÿ”. Apparently the letter was used in German writing occasionally around that time period. I thought that was pretty interesting.
