- 1功績勳章（英國 Order of Merit 的縮寫；不是瑜伽或佛門的「唵」）
OM here is a set of letters, not a spoken syllable. It stands for the Order of Merit, a very small British honour the monarch gives for outstanding work in science, art, the armed forces, or public life. Only a handful of living people hold it at a time. Older books say “the Queen”; it is a personal gift of the British king or queen, and for many years that was Elizabeth II. You write it after a name, as in “Florence OM”. It is formal and British; in Taiwan you mainly see it in news about a famous scientist or writer. Students who know yoga will think of a completely different om — a holy sound from . That is another word that happens to look the same in small letters; it is not this honour.
組成The letters stand for Order of Merit. This entry is the British honour, not the Sanskrit holy sound om (ॐ).
