Overset and mathbb collision
While the accepted answer provides the solution, I wish to address the "Why?" issue in the question.
The \mathbb
alphabet is defined by amsfonts.sty
as
\DeclareSymbolFontAlphabet{\mathbb}{AMSb}
which basically means "use the glyphs from the font AMSb" (which is also declared by amsfonts
). The font AMSb contains the blackboard-bold capital letters and a whole bunch of other symbols. So when you type \mathbb{T}
you obtain what you expect; but \mathbb{m}
looks for the glyph in the slot "6D
, which is not a small blackboard-bold m (it doesn't even exist in AMSb) but rather the symbol \gtrdot
, thus explaining the weird result.
You need to put the T inside the overset
:
\overset{m}{\mathbb{T}}_{ij}
