U+1DF27 "𝼧" Latin Small Letter N with Mid-Height Left Hook Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝼧

U+1DF27 "𝼧" Latin Small Letter N with Mid-Height Left Hook is a specialized phonetic symbol used in certain linguistic notations, particularly within extensions of the International Phonetic Alphabet or Americanist phonetic systems, to represent a specific variant of the alveolar nasal sound. Its defining feature is a small hook attached to the left side of the standard Latin letter 'n' at about mid-height, which distinguishes it from other modified 'n' characters like the palatal nasal or the eng. This glyph is encoded in the Latin Extended-G block of Unicode, a range dedicated to supporting phonetic and orthographic needs for lesser-used languages and transcription systems, though it remains rare in everyday text and mostly appears in specialist linguistic publications or digital phonetic databases.
