The 27th letter of the English alphabet used to be the ampersand (&).
While the modern English alphabet consists of 26 letters, historically, particularly before 1835, the alphabet included the ampersand (&) as the 27th letter. This symbol represented the word "and" and was often recited at the end of the alphabet.
Therefore, depending on the context (historical vs. modern), the answer varies. If referring to the historical alphabet, the answer is the ampersand (&).
