𐀌 in the context of Mu (letter)

Mu (/ˈm(j)uː/ ; uppercase Μ, lowercase ΞΌ; Ancient Greek ΞΌαΏ¦ [mŷː], Greek: ΞΌΞΉ or ΞΌΟ…β€”both [mi]) is the twelfth letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiced bilabial nasal IPA: [m]. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40. Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water, which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, to become 𐀌 (mem). Letters that derive from mu include the Roman M and the Cyrillic М, though the lowercase resembles a small Latin U (u).
