Nu (kana)

Nu, ぬ in hiragana, or ヌ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana each representing one mora. Both hiragana and katakana are made in two strokes and represent [nu͍]. They are both derived from the Chinese character 奴. In the Ainu language, katakana ヌ can be written as small ㇴ to represent a final n, and is interchangeable with the standard katakana ン.

In the manga "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo" ぬ is Jelly Jiggler's favorite character.

gollark: The upcoming PotatOS ISA™ actually uses "three's complement".
gollark: Two's complement is the fastest way if you have regular unsigned addition hardware IIR©, but BF does not have that.
gollark: Oh. Lookup tables. That is not one of the ways I was thinking of, but... sure?
gollark: How are you implementing trigononononononometric functions anyway?
gollark: Expanding on "people find it fun", consider that esolangs are also essentially not-very-useful tools.
