U+1D70 "ᵰ" Latin Small Letter N with Middle Tilde Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1D70 "ᵰ" Latin Small Letter N with Middle Tilde is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) or similar transcription systems to represent a nasalized alveolar or dental sound, where the tilde placed through the middle of the "n" indicates nasalization of the consonant itself rather than of a preceding or following vowel. It is part of the IPA Extensions block in Unicode, designed to capture detailed phonetic distinctions in languages and linguistic studies. This character is distinct from a standard "n" combined with a separate combining tilde above or below, as the middle tilde is an integral part of the letter design, making it useful for precise transcription of certain nasal consonants in fieldwork or scholarly texts.
