<U+0079 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y, U+0328 COMBINING OGONEK> has a special glyph in Iosevka. Where did this glyph come from? Is it used in Elfdalian? It is hard to find definitive information about this sequence. Anyway, this form is not shared by similar base letters:

U+00FD LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH ACUTE
U+00FF LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
U+0177 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH CIRCUMFLEX
U+01B4 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK
U+0233 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH MACRON
U+024F LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH STROKE
U+1E8F LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT ABOVE
U+1E99 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH RING ABOVE
U+1EF3 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH GRAVE
U+1EF5 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH DOT BELOW
U+1EF7 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH HOOK ABOVE
U+1EF9 LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH TILDE

Is it used in Elfdalian?

Y. I only did it for original y.

I followed Brill which only has the original y. Other combinations will have the ogonek detached.

This is Brill

No idea. I tried Gentium Plus, and it doesn't have this.
