The symbol [ŋ] is usually called "eng" [ɛŋ] . It is like an [n] with the tail of a [ɡ].
Things to look out for:
In spelling, the letter combination ng is usually just the single sound [ŋ], but occasionally there really is a [ɡ] sound too. Compare singer[ˈsɪŋɹ̩] (no [ɡ]) with finger[ˈfɪŋɡɹ̩].
The [ŋ] sound also occurs in the combinations usually spelled nk or nc, as in blank[blæŋk]. If you're ever tempted to use [nk] in a transcription, double-check to make sure it's really an [n] instead of an [ŋ] -- and it usually won't be. Compare uncool [ʌnˈkul] with uncle[ˈʌŋkl̩].
Be sure to get the tail on the right leg of the [n] and pointing in the proper direction. The IPA also has the symbols [ɲ] and [ɳ], which represent different sounds (not used in English).
