Latin Small Letter M With Acute Letter Meaning
The character “ḿ” is the Unicode lowercase letter name “LATIN SMALL LETTER M WITH ACUTE” (U+1E3F). As a visually accented “m,” it most commonly appears in written text where an acute accent changes pronunciation, distinguishes words, or marks a specific phonetic or orthographic value. You’ll also see it in romanization and scholarly transcriptions of terms originally written with systems that use diacritics. In plain terms, treat it as a lowercase “m” plus an acute accent: it’s not the same as an unaccented “m” in languages where the diacritic matters.
