Uppercase Ɲ-Ꞃ and lowercase ɲ-ꞃ

Ɲ is a letter indicating a palatal nasal. The lowercase form ɲ is used as an IPA symbol. The upper and lower case are used in the Latin orthographies of some African languages (e.g. Bambara and Fula in Mali).

Its Unicode code points are U+019D and U+0272, respectively.

Usage

The lowercase form  ɲ is used as an IPA symbol for the voiced palatal nasal.[1]

ŋɲɳ: four "n"-based IPA symbols for nasal sounds.

The symbol ⟨ɲ⟩ is used to represent an alveolo-palatal nasal in some languages, since there is no IPA symbol with the latter meaning, and no language distinguishes the two.
