Ñ, or ñ (Spanish: eñe, ⓘ), is a letter of the modern Latin alphabet, formed by placing a tilde (also referred to as a virgulilla in Spanish, in order to differentiate it from other diacritics, which are also called tildes) on top of an upper- or lower-case n . [1]
It commonly represents the dental nasal consonant /n/, like the pronunciation of n in "neat". And it can be palatized /nʲ/ like in the pair of hard and soft consonnant for the word: жена́ [ʐɨˈ n a] ⓘ 'wife' and же́нин [ˈʐe nʲ ɪn] ⓘ 'wife's'.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ɳ , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is n`. Like all the retroflex consonants, the IPA symbol is formed by adding a rightward-pointing hook extending from the bottom of an en (the letter used for the corresponding alveolar consonant).

Lowercase eng is derived from n, with the addition of a hook to the right leg, somewhat like that of j. Nowadays, the uppercase has two main variants: it can be based on the usual uppercase N, with a hook added (or "N-form"); or it can be an enlarged version of the lowercase (or "n-form").
