Y

I spent so much time looking for Q and X, that I forgot how challenging Y might be...

though Germany has a Y, there isn't a Y in  this Deutschland stamp 

maybe "youngsters"?  Bibi & Tina are fictional teenagers who apparently have exciting adventures  with their beloved horses (one is a witch with magical powers)

And Ukraine has a letter that looks like a Y 

though it is pronounced more like "oo"

I agree it is a difficult letter. In the three A-Z dedicated to women I have used: Youthful heroines, Young women playing and, today, Youth. More or less the same!

and, I suppose I could have used 'yellow'!
