Mathematical Bold Script Small N 𝓷

Visual Description: The character is a small n drawn in a bold script style. It has fluid, rounded strokes and a slightly slanted posture. The loops are elegant and connected, giving a handwritten feel. In print it looks distinct from plain italic letters, especially in dense formulas and equations.

Meaning & Usage: It signals a named object in math notation. Use it to mark a specific variable, index, or set member that you want to stand out. In formulas and algorithms, the bold script form helps separate n from ordinary letters. In diagrams, it may label an element in a relation A & B.

Historical Background: The style grew from designers seeking a distinct handwritten look that could stand apart from plain types. Digital tools later included bold script variants for math, enabling use across textbooks, apps, and calculators. The idea remains to emphasize objects without changing core meaning in math practice.

Practical Use: In calculators and software, this glyph appears in templates and quick UI controls for operations or comparisons. It can label a term in a recurrence, a parameter in a model, or a header in a math panel. Use the bold small n to keep notation visually distinct and readable.
