Text character for this archaic Greek symbol?

I couldn’t find any Unicode characters that look like this archaic Greek symbol/monogram. Does anyone at CT have something that I might copy & paste onto my coin label?
FWIW, I couldn’t find anything close to this archaic Greek symbol in Windows Character Map.

My surfing cow coin has this archaic Greek monogram 1/2 off the flan. (Mine shows only this "r" and not the complete "rY"). Here is a link so you can view the complete monogram on TIF's coin. http://www.cointalk.com/threads/cowabunga-surfs-up.235825/

I believe that is a YΠ monogram. Ligate letters are traditionally indicated by parentheses, so (YΠ).

 

Thank you muchly for the valuable reply.

So my first ligate character is a Y followed by a Π. As you have indicated, I should list this as (YΠ) on my coin label.

Now, my coin does not have the large "Y" after the ligate letter (YΠ). All the other cow coins have a large Y after the (YΠ). Is the large Y just off my flan or do you suppose my coin never included the large Y?

Perhaps you could provide a little further recommendation for labeling my coin as depicted in this cow coin thread: http://www.cointalk.com/threads/cowabunga-surfs-up.235825/

Perhaps "(YΠ)Y monogram with last Y off the flan"

Thanks for your help.

 

Yours is off the flan. Missing (but known) letters are indicated by brackets. (YΠ)[Y]

 

Thank you Ardatirion.

It looks more like a square root symbol...or maybe I've been doing too much math recently...

 

Here is my example, which shows Ardy's correct statement ... ummm, but your example is certainly far nicer than this ol' Mooo!!
