I'm trying to write a special N character in TeX, it looks like this:

enter image description here

I tried using $\mathcal{N}$, it similar but not quite the same.

Could you help me?

You need to load the mathrsfs package and write \mathscr{N}.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathrsfs} % or: \usepackage[scr=rsfs]{mathalfa}
\begin{document}
$\mathscr{N}$
\end{document}

There are several packages that provide variants of . If you’re using the legacy toolchain with 8-bit fonts, mathalpha provides a comprehensive list of available alphabets, with scaling and the ability to load as either \mathscr or \mathcal. The documentation also has font samples.

In the modern toolchain, with unicode-math, there are about a dozen fonts you can load with \setmathfont[range={scr,bfscr}, Scale=MatchUppercase]{some-font.otf}. The default \mathscr command is based on Euler Calligraphic, rather than Ralph Smith formal script.

In particular, \setmathfont[range={scr,bfscr}, Scale=MatchLowercase, StylisticSet=1]{STIX Two Math} gets you a similar, but less-slanted, .
