What 𝚗 means
It is the lowercase n of a mathematical, equal-width alphabet.
Monospace means each character takes the same horizontal space. In math, this fixed-width n can mark a distinct symbol; the formula supplies its role.
Math publishers already used these styles. In 1999, STIX (Scientific and Technical Information Exchange) proposed encoding them to preserve their meanings in plain text.
