U+0145 "Ņ" Latin Capital Letter N with Cedilla Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ņ
U+0145 "Ņ" Latin Capital Letter N with Cedilla is a precomposed letter used in the Latin alphabet, primarily for writing several languages such as Latvian, Livonian, and some Indigenous languages of the Americas like Nahuatl. It represents a distinct sound, typically a palatalized or soft "n" sound, formed by adding a cedilla diacritic mark beneath the standard uppercase N. In Unicode, it is part of the Latin Extended-A block and has a corresponding lowercase version at U+0146 "ņ", which maintains the cedilla for consistent typographic representation. This character is essential for correct orthography and pronunciation in languages where it appears, distinguishing words that would otherwise be ambiguous without the diacritic.
