Letters in IBAN: How to calculate the hash
Until I got an account in France, I didn't know that you can have letters in your account number. Since it's in EU, I've got IBAN with the account, which shows the letter as well, and it has a two-digit hash code so it looks like this:
FR55 2004 1000 0123 4565 4Y32 177
The original account number is in the format:
ETABL 24001, GUICHET 00001, No COMPTE 12345654Y321, CLE RIB 77
How is Y considered when the IBAN hash is calculated? (Remark: I made up the above number so 55 is probably not the correct hash.)

For the calculation of the check digits, any alphabetical characters are replaced by 2-digit numbers consisting of 9 plus the position of the character in the Latin alphabet, so
A -> 10
B -> 11
etc.
