I've always wondered about the dutch "ij"... people say this all the time,
and as i've never actually seen a dutch person write in dutch, i'm really
not sure what this means... is this only in cursive? print? Would one
ever write an actual ÿ in dutch?

Maybe some kindly dutch person could write a sample and scan it in?
