U+01CC "nj" Latin Small Letter Nj Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
nj
U+01CC "nj" Latin Small Letter Nj is a three character sequence encoded as a single unit, representing a digraph used primarily in the Latin orthographies of languages such as Croatian, Serbian, and Montenegrin, where it functions as a distinct letter to denote the palatal nasal sound /ɲ/, similar to the Spanish "ñ" or the Italian "gn". It is the lowercase form of the uppercase "NJ" (U+01CA) and pairs with the titlecase "Nj" (U+01CB), and in typographic contexts, it is often distinct from the separate letters "n" and "j" placed together, serving as a crucial component for correct spelling and pronunciation in these South Slavic languages.
