En with hook (Ӈ ӈ; italics: Ӈ ӈ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter En (Н н) by adding a hook to the right leg.
En with hook commonly represents the voiced velar nasal {{IPA|/ŋ/}}, like the pronunciation of {{angbr|ng}} in "sing", in Uralic languages.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yn1UAAAAMAAJ&q=%22En+with+hook%22+-wikipedia|page=204|title=Sustaining Indigenous Knowledge: Learning Tools and Community Initiatives for Preserving Endangered Languages and Local Cultural Heritage |year=2013|isbn=9783942883122|publisher=Bod Third Party Titles|
