U+2C99 "ⲙ" Coptic Small Letter Mi Unicode Character

U+2C99 "ⲙ" Coptic Small Letter Mi is a glyph used in the Coptic alphabet, where it represents the sound /m/ and corresponds directly to the Greek letter Mu (Μ μ) as well as the Egyptian Coptic script's earlier Demotic roots. It is encoded in the Unicode block named "Coptic," which was added to support the liturgical and scholarly needs of the Coptic language, the final stage of the Egyptian language written in a script derived from Greek with additional letters from Demotic. This character is distinct from its Greek counterpart in style, featuring a more rounded and open form, and it is used primarily in religious texts, historical documents, and modern linguistic studies of Coptic.
