According to the masora, the section of “ויהי בנסע הארון” in a Sefer Torah (parshas Naso, Bamidbar 10:35-36) is bracketed before and after by an inverted (mirror image) letter “נ” in the spaces of the parsha-breaks. These glyphs are not part of the text of the Torah and are not vocalized as part of the Torah reading. If a Sefer Torah does not have these inverted נs, it is not pasul, but it should be corrected as soon as possible.
