U+0274 "ɴ" Latin Letter Small Capital N Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ɴ
U+0274 "ɴ" Latin Letter Small Capital N is a typographic variant of the Latin letter N, designed as a smaller, capitalized form that is used primarily in phonetic transcription, most notably within the International Phonetic Alphabet. In the IPA, this character represents a voiced uvular nasal, a consonant sound produced with the back of the tongue against the uvula, as heard in some dialects of French or in the Arabic letter ق in certain contexts. It is also employed in other linguistic notations, such as the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, where it indicates a voiceless or reduced nasal, and is visually distinct from both the regular lowercase "n" and the capital "N" due to its x-height alignment.
