To get a clear view of the meaning of the words, we divide this mantra in three parts:
Om Ah Hum / Vajra Guru Padme / Siddhi Hum.
These syllables have an outer, inner and secret meaning. The sounds and the intention during reciting purify on the different levels.
OM stands for the Body and also the essence of form,
AH stands for Speech and the essence of sound,
HUM for Spirit and the essence of spirituality.
At the deepest level OM purifies the way to a limitless compassion, AH to a shining nature and HUM realizes the kernel of heavenly reality.The Vajra or Thunderbolt is the Diamond that stands for unlimited power – for great wisdom that cannot be destroyed by ignorance.

I don't know if you will be able to see the diacritics but this is the correct form of the Vajra Guru Mantra in Sanskrit. Without the diacritics the pronunciation is lost.
