Em (М м; italics: М м) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.
Em commonly represents the bilabial nasal consonant /m/, like the pronunciation of ⟨m⟩ in "him".
It is derived from the Greek letter Mu (Μ μ).
The Cyrillic letter Em looks very similar, and corresponds to the Latin letter M but, as with most Cyrillic letters, the lowercase form is simply a smaller version of the uppercase.
