IPA phonetic symbol 〚n̩〛

The IPA phonetic symbol [n&#809;] (lowercase "n" with a small vertical line below) represents syllabic /n/, a syllable with no vowel (syllabic consonant), as in "even" [ˈiːvn&#809;], "present" [ˈprezn&#809;t] or "person" [ˈpɜːsn&#809;]. In a broad notation [n&#809;] is /ən/: /ˈiːvən, ˈprezənt, ˈpɜrsən/. Some dictionaries write a small schwa as in /ˈiːvən, ˈprezənt, ˈpɜrsən/. Others write no vowel, and the reader has to deduct that /n/ is in a syllable with no vowels: /ˈiːvn, ˈpreznt, ˈpɜrsn/.
