What is this symbol called?

1

$begingroup$

Not much to this question, just can't find the name.

I cannot find what this symbol is called, its like a n with a tail before it.
It is something to do with eigenvectors in my context.

Purpose is I need to put it in LaTeX.

  If you're looking for $TeX$ commands for symbols, Detexify lets you draw and it will try to guess the symbol.
