U+30F3 "ン" Katakana Letter N Unicode Character

U+30F3 "ン" Katakana Letter N is a fundamental character in the Japanese katakana syllabary, representing the moraic nasal sound commonly transcribed as “n” in English. It is the forty-eighth and final character in the standard katakana ordering, used to indicate a syllable-final nasal consonant in words, often found at the end of loanwords, onomatopoeia, or foreign names. Unlike other katakana characters that represent a vowel-consonant pair, "ン" stands as a standalone nasal sound, making it essential for accurately transcribing non-Japanese terms such as “コンピュータ” (konpyūta, “computer”). Its distinctive brush-like strokes and compact design reflect its role in adapting foreign sounds into Japanese phonology.
