U+014A "Ŋ" Latin Capital Letter Eng Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+014A "Ŋ" Latin Capital Letter Eng is a distinct letter used in several African languages, including Ganda, Fula, and many Bantu languages, to represent the velar nasal sound, similar to the "ng" in the English word "sing". Unlike the digraph "ng", this single character denotes a discrete phoneme in these languages. It also appears in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the same sound, though in IPA notation it is typically lowercase. The uppercase form "Ŋ" is designed to match the visual style of capital letters in the Latin alphabet, with a hook or tail extending below the baseline to differentiate it from the similar-looking capital N.
