The letter "yud" is the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and is the first letter in G-d's Holy Name (The Tetragrammaton.) Being the smallest letter, it is made of only one part, symbolic of the Oneness of the Lord. It's numerical value of ten is found often in Jewish history: 10 Commandments, 10 Plagues upon the Egyptians, 10 tests of Abraham's faith, and 10 men needed to form a minyan (quorum) for public prayer.
Yud is also the only letter that levitates above the baseline, rising towards our Creator.
