There is no standard system for Cantonese Romanization. Pick up a Cantonese instruction book at the book shop and it's a complete gamble as to which one of the three most common systems they'll use.
I don't have an answer for you but I hope your efforts help to solve that problem...

Which system for Cantonee uses the "falling m"? Anyway, it doesn't matter. Just combine the two characters with zero letter spacing/kerning in your layout program. Type an "m" and type an"`" and set letter spacing between them to zero.
You can even do this in Microsoft Word by using condensed letter spacing, but it's more tricky. Of course, you shouldn't be doing any typesetting that's going to be published in Word... the industry uses InDesign and Quark.
Of course that won't help for text destined for the web. You'd have to use images for that.

What font are you using in your text? The font (Helvetica, Arial, Times New Roman, etc.) can be opened up in a font editor and the missing character added to one of the places. Font editors are not as common as they were back in the day when Fontographer for the classic Mac OS was around... I remember I used to tinker a little myself.
Perhaps I'll look into it, and see if I can find the right software. I like challenges like this. If you wouldn't mind supporting a freelancer, even with an IOU, that might add some incentive! ;)
