U+0220 "Ƞ" Latin Capital Letter N with Long Right Leg Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ƞ
U+0220 "Ƞ" Latin Capital Letter N with Long Right Leg is an obsolete typographic variant of the capital letter N, distinguished by an extended descender on its rightmost vertical stroke, which descends below the baseline. It was historically used in certain orthographies, such as in early transcriptions of Indigenous languages of North America, to represent a nasalized or distinctive phonetic sound, but it is now rarely employed in modern typing. The character also appears in a few medieval manuscripts and early printed works as a stylistic flourish.
