^Y (control-Y) is the delayed suspend character.  You can change this to
anything you want on most UNIX systems (including Sun) by doing (e.g.):

	% stty dsusp ^A

to change it to ^A (control-A).  I do this all the time so I can run up-left
in certain screen-oriented programs :-) without popping out to the shell.
Once you have set dsusp to something else, ^Y is just an ordinary character.

There, wasn't that easy?
