U+0273 "ɳ" Latin Small Letter N with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character

U+0273 "ɳ" Latin Small Letter N with Retroflex Hook is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiced retroflex nasal consonant, where the tongue is curled back to the hard palate while producing the sound. It appears in the orthographies of languages such as Swedish, Norwegian, and certain Australian Aboriginal languages, as well as in scholarly transcription of Indic scripts like Devanagari. This character is part of the Latin Extended C block and differs visually from a standard "n" by the addition of a hook on the right side of its stem, indicating its retroflex articulation.
