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.

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