In official Commie pinyin, it's "wangwang" with a macron over each vowel.

(The 'macrons' aren't macrons of course, but really the mark for the
first (of four) Mandarin tones. Technically, omitting them would
erroneously indicate that each syllable was in the fifth or 'neutral'
tone.)

Of course it SHOULD be $AMtMt(B.

Oh, you can't read that with your mule-disabled emacsen, gee, sorry.
