U+10492 "𐒒" Osmanya Letter Nuun is a script symbol from the Osmanya alphabet, which was created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid to write the Somali language. This letter represents the consonant sound [n], equivalent to the Latin letter "N," and is part of a writing system designed to replace Arabic script for Somali, though it saw limited adoption.
