Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+0272 "ɲ" Latin Small Letter N with Left Hook is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiced palatal nasal sound, similar to the 'ny' in the English word "canyon." It appears frequently in the orthographies of African languages such as Bambara and in some Eastern European languages like Polish, where it corresponds to the letter "ń." The character derives from a Latin 'n' with a leftward hook on its stem, signifying its palatal articulation, and it is distinct from the similar-looking but differently coded "ʼn" or other hooked variants.
