When you talk about the block letter Y from the YMCA logo, it is the third most recognized symbol in the WORLD, behind the red cross and something else.
Besides all its idiosyncracies as the 'sometimes' vowel, it is also transcedant for this reason.

It is horizontally symmetrical - flip it over and it's the same.
It is the only consonant in English that can also be used as a vowel (note: Welsh also uses "w").
It's a homophone for a word - "why."
That's all I have off the top of my head.

It's the only 'wishbone' shaped letter.
It's also the only one that is used as a symbol to indicate other things when tilted to 3o'clock/6o'clock and 9o'clock.

It can be used as a vowel sometimes, in words that do not contain a, e, i, o or u. Such as 'why' or 'hymn.'
