U+1BC6A "𛱪" Duployan Letter Vocalic M is a specific glyph within the Duployan shorthand system, a script invented in the 19th century by French priest Émile Duployé for writing French, English, and other languages. This character represents a vocalic or syllabic form of the letter 'M', indicating that the 'M' sound functions as a syllable nucleus, similar to the way a vowel operates, as in the English word 'rhythm' or certain sonorant consonants in other languages.
