Definition

What Is Uppercase N Latin?

Uppercase N latin (ɴ) is the Unicode character at U+0274 in IPA Extensions. Official name: LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL N — an IPA small-capital N used for the uvular nasal in phonetic transcription.

Remember

Unicode       U+0274
Hex entity    &#x0274;
Decimal       &#628;
CSS escape    \0274
Named entity  (none)

Prefer ɴ or ɴ in HTML markup. You can also type ɴ in UTF-8. There is no named entity. Despite the URL, Unicode treats this as a small capital, not plain capital N.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase N Latin (ɴ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0274";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x0274;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#628;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ɴ</p>
  <p>IPA label: /ɴ/</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0274 → ɴ in HTML. The browser turns it into ɴ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 628 → ɴ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0274 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ɴ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / IPA: paste ɴ in UTF-8, or write /ɴ/ for a short phonetic label.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0274 — use numeric references or type the character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with small capital N.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0274. Use ɴ or ɴ.

vs N

Not plain capital N

Keyboard N is U+004E. Use U+0274 only for IPA small capital N (uvular nasal).

URL

“Uppercase” in the URL

The slug says uppercase, but Unicode names this a small capital letter — an IPA symbol, not ASCII N.

vs Ɲ

Not N with left hook

Ɲ is capital N with left hook (palatal nasal). ɴ is small capital N (uvular nasal).

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0274 belongs in CSS strings. ɴ / ɴ belong in HTML.

Fonts

IPA font coverage

Some UI fonts omit IPA Extensions. Prefer Doulos SIL, Charis SIL, or another IPA-capable font.
