U+04C9 "Ӊ" Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Tail Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

Ӊ

U+04C9 "Ӊ" Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Tail is a relatively rare character used primarily in the Cyrillic orthographies of certain small minority languages spoken in Russia, such as Khanty, where it represents a specific nasalized or palatalized dental consonant sound, typically a voiceless or voiced alveolar nasal [n] followed by a distinct palatal glide. This letter is formed by adding a downward hook or tail to the base of the standard Cyrillic letter En (Н), visually distinguishing it from its plain counterpart while maintaining a clear relationship to the broader Cyrillic script family. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that these languages can be accurately encoded and digitally preserved.
