Unicode Version 17.0
ӈ
U+04C8 "ӈ" Cyrillic Small Letter En with Hook is a lowercase letter used in several languages of the Russian Far East and Siberia, including Nenets, Chukchi, and Itelmen, where it represents a voiced velar nasal sound (like the "ng" in "sing"). It consists of a standard Cyrillic "н" with a small hook attached to the bottom of its right leg, and its uppercase counterpart is U+04C7 "Ӈ". This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-A block and serves a specific phonetic role distinct from the standard Cyrillic "н", which denotes a dental or alveolar nasal.
