Mu (kana)

む, in hiragana, or ム in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. The hiragana is written with three strokes, while the katakana is written with two. Both represent [mu͍].

In older Japanese texts until the spelling reforms of 1900, む was also used to transcribe the nasalised [ɴ]. Since the reforms, it is replaced in such positions with ん.

In the Ainu language, ム can be written as small ㇺ, which represents a final m sound.[1] This, along with other extended katakana, was developed by Japanese linguists to represent Ainu sounds that do not exist in standard Japanese katakana.

gollark: You can always route through a virtual server cuboid, such as the osmarks.net virtual hexahedral servers.
gollark: I was thinking it might be neat to make it a pattern-matchy language, but I am not sure what that would mean or how it would work.
gollark: So `bee apio [ 4, 7 * q ]` is the same as `beeapio[4, 7*q]`.
gollark: It has an exciting feature where it completely ignores whitespace.
gollark: I made a basic parser for it which parses stuff like `bee[apio, forms] = 7*2*x^3`, and a really simplistic evaluator, but I'm not sure what the semantics *should* be like.
