"N̈", or "n̈" (referred to as n-diaeresis or n-umlaut) is a grapheme from several minor extended Latin alphabets, the letter N with a diaeresis mark to represent a voiceless alveolar nasal diaeresisly consonant.
It occurs in the orthographies of Jacaltec (a Mayan language), Malagasy (infrequently used), Tol language, and Cape Verdean Creole, in all four cases representing a velar [ŋ].
Its use there parodies the metal umlaut used gratuitously by several actual bands, such as Blue Öyster Cult, Motörhead, and Mötley Crüe.
According to fictional musician David St. Hubbins, "it's like a pair of eyes; you're looking at the umlaut, and it's looking at you".
