Thank you for the references. It looks like an official proposal is
already in progress.
You are correct, this letter had indeed several possible phonetic
equivalents, "yn" among them, although I believe that "yn" is a later
development that came as an abbreviation of a common sequence: 1n ->
1' -> 1. In the first documented occurrence of this letter dating back
to 1499 it was a part of the preposition "1n" ("n" being written as a
separate letter).
Cheers
