Their "N" letter looks like an "H." You are confusing it with their letter for "I", which looks like a mirror-reversed "N". But they use "Z" because it is distinct from any Cyrillic letter, as a battlefield identification to prevent friendly-fire accidents.
Thanks for the sauce, I've never seen a keyboard with both Cyrillic and Roman letters before. Confusing AF but anyhow...
That backward N with the breve mark over it is called "short i" in Russian. Placed after another vowel, it makes a sound called "y-glide", like you're just starting to say the consonant Y.
Please stop saying Z is Russian letter Q.
It is nothing of the sort.
Russian has no Q and no Z shaped letter.
Upside down N actually lol. https://images.esellerpro.com/2416/I/166/43/Microsoft%20Wedge%20Mobile%20Keyboard%20Russian%20QWERTY.jpg

It's nothing at all to do with Z or Q or N.
