Em with tail
Cyrillic letter used in Kildin Sámi
Em with tail (Ӎ ӎ; italics: Ӎ ӎ) is a letter of the extended Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Cyrillic letter Em (М м) by adding a tail to the right leg.
Em with tail is used in the current alphabet for the Kildin Sámi language and Ter Sami language in the Kola Peninsula in Russia, where it represents a voiceless bilabial nasal /m̥/. This version of the Kildin Sámi alphabet was developed from 1976 to 1982. Em with tail is one of the distinctive letters of the Kildin Sámi alphabet, and despite its inclusion in Unicode, its cross-linguistic rarity still causes problems, such as not appearing on standard keyboards or in many fonts.
