یYogurt
The bowl of Yogurt is the round bowl, and the spoon curling out of it is the stroke on top.
ی can be the consonant "y", as in یا ("or"). Most often it is a long "ee", as in بینی. After the "e" mark it is a "y", so نِی (a reed flute) says "ney".
At the start or in the middle of a word, ی wears two dots below, like the first ی in بینی.
