What 𝓜 means
The formula gives its meaning.
Script capitals can label operators, functions, or transforms; the formula supplies this M's role.
Why can 𝓜 look different?
Fonts can draw its script strokes differently.
Math printing used letter styles to distinguish symbols; older sets held only selected script letters. Full math alphabets later preserved those distinctions in plain text.
People also use math alphabets for plain-text decoration. As of 2026-09-28, Unicode defines no selector for a second bold-script style.

1Why did 𝓜 become M?
It can happen: NFKC, a Unicode text cleanup, can fold 𝓜 to M and erase its style. Avoid it when formulas need the distinction.
