An N with a raised o: 'number', in most of Europe.
Also known as: N with a small o, No.
A single character standing for the word 'number'. It is standard across continental Europe and Latin America and almost unused in English, which is why an English reader meets it on a foreign form and cannot look it up.
A ligature of a capital N and a raised, usually underlined, small o, standing for the word 'number' before a numeral.
Standard in French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and much of eastern Europe, and effectively absent from English, which abbreviates to No. instead.
Continental Europe and Latin America
The raised o is the ending of the Latin numero, in the same way that a raised th is the ending of an English ordinal. It is not a degree sign.
Frequently mistaken for a degree symbol run together with an N.
A capital N followed by a small raised circle, usually with a short underline beneath the circle.
