hum...


Explanation:
Concordo que a palavra em sim não quer dizer nada, por norma não se vê "erm" em textos escritos, trata-se apenas de algo que expressa hesitação quando falamos.

Eu optaria ou por omitir, ou então tente encontrar algum som que escrito, possa assemelhar-se a uma hesitação no discurso.
