Good day Tex-Community,

I need to use this this specific fractal M character in my presentation. I've taken a photograph down below. What command/package do I have to use? enter image description here

Use the eufrak or the yfonts package. For an extensive overview see "What are all the font styles I can use in math mode?"

\documentclass{article}
% https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/58124
\usepackage{yfonts}
\usepackage{eufrak}
\begin{document}
From the \texttt{yfonts} package: 
$\textfrak{M}$,
$\textswab{M}$,
$\textgoth{M}$

From the \texttt{eufrak} package: 
$\mathfrak{M}$
\end{document}

  • Those Ms look different from my photo though. I'm familiar with the link you provided, but none of the Ms I found there matches with the one in the picture. :/ – infinitezero Nov 11 '16 at 11:25

Using Detexify I found this as the closest match to your symbol

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}

\[
\mathfrak{M}
\]

\end{document}

If suggest to use either $\mathcal{M}$ or

\usepackage{mathrsfs}


$\mathscr{M}$

For exactly the same shape you are quoting you will need some special font to be determined.
