(lowercase ) is a letter derived from the combination of the Latin letter N and a stroke diacritic. It was used in Latvian orthography until 1921, when it was replaced by Ņ (N with a cedilla).

It is represented in Unicode by:

  • U+A7A4 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH OBLIQUE STROKE
  • U+A7A5 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH OBLIQUE STROKE

gollark: I mostly just think about this sort of thing as "incomprehensible complex magic".
gollark: If I compile with Rust's musl target instead, I assume it would be mostly static.
gollark: I think that's... libc, maths, threads, and random dynamic linking stuff.
gollark: ``` linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcaa5d2000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f86c5969000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f86c5947000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f86c592d000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f86c5766000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f86c66ec000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f86c5621000)```More than I expected, but not many.
gollark: I'll check how much my random rust code links to.
