hmm, <AltGr>+<Y> does not get me anything on my keyboard; you seem to
have a different keyboard layout than I have (German layout, the <Y> key
is at the left side of the lower row). What works for me is to press
<Alt>+<;>. This is because mappings with <Alt> are internally translated
to the character with the same ordinal value plus the highest bit set.
<;> has an ordinal value of 59 and adding 128 gives 187, which is the
ordinal value of <»>.
