Although it seems unlikely that mail could be sent (hijacked) to another email account when there is a character difference, in your case, you need to contact Yahoo support to communicate directly with them.

This is not an issue that you can resolve without assistance.

What I would suggest for the next email you set up - and yes, you should have at least 2 accounts, one for personal stuff and one for subscriptions and the like - do not put your email out there for the spiders. And don't open any attachment which feel remotely like phishing.

I hop this works for you.
