U+A791 "ꞑ" Latin Small Letter N with Descender Unicode Character

U+A791 "ꞑ" Latin Small Letter N with Descender is a modified letter used in certain Latin-based orthographies, primarily for transcribing tonal African languages such as those in the Mande family, including varieties of Dan and Guro. It represents a voiced velar nasal sound, similar to the 'ng' in "sing," but with a distinctive descending stroke below the baseline that differentiates it from the standard Latin 'n'. This character is part of the Latin Extended-D block and was added to the Unicode Standard to support scholarly and linguistic documentation of indigenous languages where precise phonetic or orthographic distinctions are necessary.
