How to type M with accent

Accented forms of M are not printed on most English keyboards, but every device hides a shortcut for them. Pick your platform:

Windows

ḿ
1E3FthenAltX
  1. In Microsoft Word, type the hexadecimal code point of the letter — 1E3F for ḿ.
  2. Press Alt+X: the code converts into the accented letter in place.

Tip: No accented form of M has a classic Windows Alt code. Outside Word, press Win + . to open the emoji panel and look under its Symbols tab — or copy the letter straight from this page, which is fastest of all.

Mac

ḿ
OptionEthenm
  1. Press the Option combination for the accent — a highlighted accent mark appears, waiting.
  2. Type the letter m; the two combine into ḿ (and its siblings).

Tip: The press-and-hold pop-up has no accented forms of M, so the Option combinations above are the keyboard route — or copy the letter straight from this page.

iPhone & Android

  1. Long-press pop-ups on iPhone, iPad and Android don't cover accented forms of M (on iOS, only b, f, j, m, p, q, v and x lack a menu).
  2. Fastest route on a phone: tap the ḿ card above to copy it, then long-press the text field and choose Paste.

Tip: Every accented form of M is quickest to copy straight from this page — tap a card, then paste.
