I think, this is a matter of fonts. The glyph used in Russia has curly legs.
The numero sign, or abbreviation, used elsewhere, usually does look less
fancy. The glyph used in my copy of the Unicode standard 2.0, e. g.,
comprises a nice Times-roman like "N" and a rised "o" from the same font
family with a little line underneath -- no curly legs, at all. The glyphs
used in my copies of ISO 10646, and Unicode 1.0, don't look Russian, either.
