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,[1]: 205 where it represents a voiceless bilabial nasal /m̥/.[citation needed] This version of the Kildin Sámi alphabet was developed from 1976 to 1982.[2] 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.[1]: 211
