I guessed that it was a 6.8vz but I can't find any zeners that use this
type of marking.

Thanks in advance

If it is a diode, it is most likely as you suspect a 6.8Vz. Looking at the
SOD-80 diode markings, to looks to be a corrupt form of mark (6Y8 but 6.8Y)
for a 6.8Vz.

To confuse matters there is also a transistor 68Y but without the decimal
point grin and it's in the SOT-89 package. I see a load of diodes in this
same package, they use ether two pins only or have the opposite two pins
tied together.
