How to create a command for the “strange m” symbol in latex?

I am wanting to use the "strange m" symbol in my latex code.
I had hoped to use the scorpio symbol, but have been unable to find a scorpio command that produces what I am looking for. The two that I have found were not exactly what I had in mind.
I essentially want the symbol to be like the greek letter eta, but with two bumps instead of one.
Unfortunately, I am unsure of how to construct NEW symbols in latex.


Currently the best I have is this symbol, but it has broken apart slightly

I don't want scorpio exactly. I had hoped the scorpio symbol would work, but I've seen both and neither were the symbol I want :/ I just want an extra bump on eta. Like eta, but an m with a flick instead of an n with a flick

Do it yourself joining m and eta with clipbox:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{trimclip}
newcommand{emeta}{clipbox{0em 0ex .3em -1ex}{$m$}clipbox{.3em 0ex 0em -1ex}{$eta$}}
begin{document}
[

Maybe use relative units instead of absolute ones such that this symbol can also be used in subscripts, footnotes and so on?

Just for fun a version strongly inspired by CarLaTeX. I will be happy to remove this part of my answer if she adds something along these lines to her nice answer.

Are you looking for
scorpio(wasysympackage),Scorpio(marvsympackage), orScorpio(startfontpackage)?– Mico
