U+1DF14 "𝼔" Latin Small Letter Eng with Palatal Hook Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝼔

U+1DF14 "𝼔" Latin Small Letter Eng with Palatal Hook is a specialized typographic symbol used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the extended International Phonetic Alphabet or other linguistic notations, to represent a voiced velar nasal sound produced with simultaneous palatalization, meaning the tongue body is raised toward the hard palate during articulation. This character combines the standard Latin letter eng, which denotes the velar nasal found in words like "sing," with a palatal hook diacritic attached to the right side of the letter, indicating a secondary palatal articulation. It is part of the Latin Extended G block, a range of Unicode designed to support obscure historical and scholarly phonetic needs, and its inclusion ensures accurate digital representation of nuanced speech sounds in linguistic research, language documentation, and phonetics textbooks.
