U+0522 "Ԣ" Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Middle Hook Unicode Character
U+0522 "Ԣ" Cyrillic Capital Letter En with Middle Hook is a rarely used letter in the Cyrillic script, designed to represent a specific nasalized sound in the Udmurt language, where it appears in the alphabet alongside its lowercase counterpart. This character, encoded in the Cyrillic Extended-B block, features a small hook attached to the middle of the standard Cyrillic letter En, distinguishing it from other similar letters. Although it was historically employed in certain Udmurt orthographies to denote a velar or labialized nasal consonant, its usage has diminished over time, with modern Udmurt writing often preferring alternative letters or digraphs. As a result, the character is now primarily of interest to linguists, typographers, and digital font developers working with minority languages and historical Cyrillic texts.
