U+0235 "ȵ" Latin Small Letter N with Curl Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ȵ
U+0235 "ȵ" Latin Small Letter N with Curl is a specialized phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent a voiced palatal nasal consonant, a sound like the "ny" in the English word "canyon" but articulated with the curled tip of the tongue against the hard palate. It differs from the regular n by the distinctive curl added to the right side of the letter's stem, which signals this palatal articulation. While it is not a standard letter in any natural writing system, it is essential for precise linguistic transcription and is also employed in some Sinological phonetic notations for representing sounds in Chinese dialects and other languages.
