Ŋ U+014A, Ŋ
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ENG
ʼn
[U+0149]
Latin Extended-A ŋ
[U+014B]
Two common forms of the character Ŋ, one similar to a capital N in shape, the other similar to the lower-case form (right).
Two additional variants. The tail is sometimes level with the baseline rather than a descender, and a turned 'G' has been used to approximate the shape of Ŋ when type is not available.
