U+312F "ㄯ" Bopomofo Letter Nn Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ㄯ
U+312F "ㄯ" Bopomofo Letter Nn is a rarely used phonetic symbol in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) writing system, which is primarily employed in Taiwan to annotate the pronunciation of Chinese characters, especially for Mandarin. This particular letter represents the consonant sound "nn," a syllabic nasal similar to the final "n" in English but functioning as its own syllable, as in some dialects or in the transcription of certain phonetic contexts. It is part of the Bopomofo Extended block of Unicode and, while not a standard element in everyday Bopomofo usage, it appears in specialized linguistic materials or phonetic notations to capture fine distinctions in spoken language.
