U+036B "ͫ" Combining Latin Small Letter M Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ͫ
U+036B "ͫ" Combining Latin Small Letter M is a combining diacritical mark used primarily in historical and linguistic orthographies to modify a preceding base character. It represents a superscript or non-spacing form of the Latin small letter m, often employed in medieval manuscript transcriptions or phonetic notations to indicate a nasalized sound or a reduced vowel condition, where the m is not articulated as a full consonant but rather as a diacritic altering the pronunciation of the attached letter. This character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks block and is encoded specifically for scholarly text processing rather than general modern typography.
