U+04CA "ӊ" Cyrillic Small Letter En with Tail Unicode Character

U+04CA "ӊ" Cyrillic Small Letter En with Tail is a variant of the Cyrillic letter En, distinguished by a descender or tail attached to its lower right stem, used primarily in the orthographies of several non-Slavic languages within the former Soviet Union, such as the Samoyedic languages Nenets and Enets, to represent a voiced velar nasal sound similar to the 'ng' in the English word "sing". It functions as a distinct grapheme in these alphabets, contrasting with the plain Cyrillic En, and is typically paired with its uppercase counterpart U+04C9 "Ӊ".
