Uppercase N with left hook (Ɲ) is the Unicode character at U+019D in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH LEFT HOOK — a capital N with a left hook, used for the palatal nasal in IPA and in African orthographies such as Bambara and Fula.
Remember
Character Ɲ
Unicode U+019D
Named entity (none)
Hex entity Ɲ
Decimal Ɲ
CSS escape \019D
Not the same ɲ · Ñ · ɴ
Prefer Ɲ or Ɲ in HTML markup. You can also type Ɲ in UTF-8. The lowercase pair is ɲ (U+0272). HTML5 has no named entity for either form.
Using Hex Code: Ɲ
Using HTML Code: Ɲ
Using CSS Entity: Ɲ
Typed directly: Ɲ
Case pair: Ɲ / ɲ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+019D → Ɲ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 413 → Ɲ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \019D (four hex digits) in content. Shorter forms can be misread by the CSS parser. #point::after appends that Ɲ.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ɲ in UTF-8, or show both cases with Ɲ / ɲ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+019D — use numeric references or type the character. Ñ is tilde Ñ, not Ɲ.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+019D.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no named entity for U+019D. Use Ɲ or Ɲ.
vs Ñ
Not a tilde
Ñ (Ñ) is Spanish Ñ. Left-hook Ɲ and tilde Ñ are different letters.
vs ɴ
Not small capital N
ɴ is IPA small capital N (uvular nasal). Ɲ is capital N with left hook (palatal nasal).
Encoding
Keep UTF-8 declared
Latin Extended-B letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer numeric entities when the source file encoding is uncertain.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\019D belongs in CSS strings. Ɲ / Ɲ belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language context
When Ɲ appears in Bambara, Fula, or IPA text, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
Compatibility

Key Takeaways
Unicode: uppercase N left hook is U+019D (decimal 413) — glyph Ɲ.
HTML: no named entity — use Ɲ / Ɲ or type the character.
CSS: use \019D (four hex digits) inside content.
Meaning:Ɲ is capital left hook — not ɲ (lower), not Ñ (tilde), not ɴ (small capital).
One line:U+019D → Ɲ / Ɲ / CSS \019D (no named entity).
