In everyday language, it typically corresponds to the /m/ sound, and it appears in many common words (for example, in pronouns, verbs, and everyday vocabulary). When typing or designing with Punjabi text, it’s important to use the correct Gurmukhi character rather than a Latin “m” or a visually similar letter from another script.
