M with Accent (ḿ ṁ ṃ) on Keyboard: How to Type M with Accents

M with accent (ḿ ṁ ṃ) is very rare and no keyboard has it, so copy and paste from the box below is the best way to type it.

On Windows, there are no Alt codes for these letters. The easiest way is to copy them from the box below, or in Word type the Unicode (for example 1E3F for ḿ) and press Alt + X.

On Mac, press Control + Command + Space to open Character Viewer and search for m with acute.

You mostly see this letters when Sanskrit or Hindi words are written in English letters, like saṃskṛta, and in old Irish writing.

Below I explain every way to type M with accent on Windows, Mac, Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Chromebook, and phones. There is also a quick reference table at the end with all the codes in one place.

Just need the letter one time? Click on any letter below and it will be copied to your clipboard. Then paste it anywhere with Ctrl + V (Windows) or Command + V (Mac).

Click a letter to copy it.

For M with accent, copy and paste is honestly the best method for most people, because there is no simple keyboard shortcut for this letters.

Is There an Alt Code for M with Accent?

No. Windows Alt codes (like Alt + 0233 for é) only cover a small set of Western European letters, and none of the main M accents are in that set.

Be careful with codes you find online. The Unicode of a letter is not the same as its Alt code, so typing Alt + the Unicode number on the number pad will give you a different character. Use the methods below instead.

This is my favorite trick for Google Docs. You can make Docs replace a short text with the accent letter automatically.

2. In the left box, type a short code like m::. In the right box, paste ḿ.
3. Click on OK.

Now every time you type m:: followed by a space, Docs will change it to ḿ. Do the same for other accents.
