I’m editing a Latin document and I need to use a special roman character that 
looks like a lower-case “m” with a tilde over it (like ‘ñ’ but an ‘m’). The 
Special Characters menu item brings up a panel that shows all the Latin 
characters, but it doesn’t have this character, only ḿ, ṁ, ṃ, and ɯ. Is there 
any way to generate it? I suspect it’s non-standard, and I may be out of luck 
here...

the way i handle these is to google "m tilde unicode", load an appropriate page (first link worked for this), then copy and paste the character, m̃, into the document (assuming it comes through with Unicode encoding intact, you can copy from this email)

if you need such characters a lot, enable the Unicode input method and memorize the code point; this one is actually a sequence of two code points: 006D+0303
