Merhaba

 

I saw this letter in a song lyric, several sites has that same lyric where various words had this letter : ý

What letter is that with accent? i didn´t see it in the alphabet. It seems they were replacing the undotted letter "ı" with that cuz it sounded the same to me. Is that correct to do that if that´s the case?

The other question is what´s the difference in pronunciation between the undotted"ı" and dotted"Ö", i find it hard to distinguish those two. And also what´s the difference in pronunciation between "i" and "y".

Thanks in advance.

There is no letter like that. It is beacuse the wrong coding settings of the website or your browser. I am not sure but it must be the i without dot:  ı

 Hi. I answered a similar Q earlier today.

 

If your computer doesnt have Turkish characters loaded up in the font, then you get funny characters showing up.  The funny y (y with an accent over it) is how the "ı" shows up.

"ş" shows up odd too - a type of p.

 

This isn´t Turkish - it is a gremlin caused by your computer not recognising Turkish characters in the particular font.
