YES

Right now I have to copy/paste it, which is kinda annoying. Resolves YES if there's a keyboard shortcut, or if some simpler character combo automatically converts to it (M$ would be an obvious choice), or if I judge that it's easy enough.

Now that's what I call free Ṁ!

If you type :m$ or :mana , Ṁ comes up in the emoji selector -- does that count as easy enough?

(the other thing I've been considering is adjusting sequences like "M123" and "M$123" to appear as "Ṁ123" after being posted)

I'm stuck in traffic on the M25 right now (driving my vintage M20 Armored Utility Car), but once I get home I can pull out my M2 Macbook and give some detailed feedback on that idea.

@Austin Didn't know that, thanks! I feel like that could be a lot better advertised, but I don't know how... it'd also be helpful if it didn't add a space after it, since I often want to type amounts like Ṁ123, but yeah, I feel like that's easy enough.

I've gone and worded this in a way that I can't resolve it until March, but if nothing changes it'll resolve YES.

@jfjurchen Good point! Converting M$123 to Ṁ123 seems sensible though; you wouldn't even need to check for the numbers, you could just convert the 'M$'.

@NcyRocks With ligature magic, you don't even need code to do it.
