I was feeling so bored that I compiled a list. I deserve a T-shirt if
any of this goes through.

Many of the things that are listed above I see under 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Diku_kanji

Some of the M-pronunciations are under On. Some are under Kun. The
pronunciations are so different.

"Mu" is a popular word in zen circles - I believe - it means neither
good or bad.

Just pick the seal script for the letter - It looks so exotic.

Algorithm is simple, go through the list below - searching for m - that
is it.
