What's the place of articulation for a non-syllabic (approximant)
version of the vowel [Y] (i.e. a near-close near-front rounded vowel)?
Another way to describe it would be a lax version of the labial-
palatal approximant.
I ask this, because Acadian French has this phoneme contrasting with
the tense labial-palatal approximant, and I want to use a symbol and
know how to call the place of articulation.
There is no basic symbol for that sound (upside-down [h] is the symbol
for the approximant version of the "tense" vowel [y]), but you could
just put an arch under the small capital [Y]. The under-arch
indicates that the vowel is not syllabic, which can be interpreted as
it being an approximant instead.
Let me hope Google can display it:

That didn't come through for me. Here's a PNG imagine of what I'm
