U+04A3 "ң" Cyrillic Small Letter En with Descender is a letter used in several non-Slavic languages that utilize the Cyrillic script, most prominently in Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Tatar, and Bashkir, where it represents a velar nasal sound similar to the 'ng' in the English word "song". Its visual form consists of the standard Cyrillic letter "н" (En) with a descender a small hook or tail appended to the bottom right of the vertical stroke distinguishing it from the plain "н". As a native letter of these alphabets, it appears in common words and place names such as the Kazakh word "таң" meaning "dawn" and is encoded for digital text processing to ensure accurate representation of these languages in computing systems.
