small y greek symbol in overleaf

How could I use a small 'y' symbol like greek in overleaf (latex)?

enter image description here

X seems like chi, however, I couldn't find greek 'y'.

The symbols are written in the page 40 of a book 2nd ed. 'The Elements of Statistical Learning -Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction'.

Solution

  • As already mentioned in the other answer, the small greek gamma comes very close...
    On second thought it looks like the "classic" x and y in somekind of math font, due to the italic like representation. The following should do the trick:

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{eucal}

\begin{document}
  \[\CMcal{X,Y}\]
\end{document}

    With the result:

    In case you are looking for a mathematical symbol or any symbol in latex, have a look at Detexify. This tool comes in very handy, if you have to classify a symbol;-)
