On the Nikon D7500 rear information display, there is a small icon near the top left that appears as a white rectangle with a dark oval inside, with the letter “N” beside it. It appears in the same area as the VR hand icon and seems to show regardless of which Nikon lens is attached. What does this indicator mean?

What you are describing is the Vignette Control Indicator.
From page 203 of the D7500 User Manual, the area pointed to by "27":
From page 255 of the manual,
Vignette control (defaults to Normal)
High, Normal, Low, Off
Reduces the drop in brightness at the edges of photographs when using type G, E, and D lenses (PC lenses excluded). The effect is most noticeable at maximum aperture.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The “N” icon is the Vignette Control indicator, and the “N” means it is set to Normal.
Vignette Control reduces darkening at the edges of the frame, especially when shooting wide open. On the D7500, the available settings are High, Normal, Low, and Off.
This feature is most relevant with compatible Nikon type G, E, and D lenses (excluding PC lenses), so it can appear consistently with multiple lenses. It is not a fault or a lens warning—just a status icon showing that in-camera vignette correction is enabled at the Normal level.
