Ň

The grapheme Ň ( minuscule: ň ) is a letter in the Czech, Slovak and Turkmen alphabets. It is formed from Latin N with the addition of háček (cz)/mäkčen (sk) and is placed right after regular N in the alphabet. Ň and ň are at Unicode codepoints U+0147 and U+0148, respectively.^[1][2]

It is used to denote /ɲ/, the palatal nasal. Thus, it has the same function as Serbo-Croatian nj, Polish ń, Spanish ñ, and Portuguese nh.

In Turkmen, ň represents the sound /ŋ/, the velar nasal, as in English thing.
