Mani, or Man (Asomtavruli: Ⴋ; Nuskhuri: ⴋ; Mkhedruli: მ; Mtavruli: Მ; Georgian: მანი, მან) is the 13th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 40.[2] Mani commonly represents the voiced bilabial nasal /m/, like the pronunciation of ⟨m⟩[3] in "mine". It is typically romanized with the letter M.[4]
