{"id":15700,"count":1,"description":"Micro (\u03bc) is a prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 (one millionth). Confirmed in 1960, the prefix comes from the Greek \u03bc\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03cc\u03c2 (mikr\u00f3s), meaning \"small\".\nThe symbol for the prefix is the Greek letter \u03bc (mu). It is the only SI prefix which uses a character not from the Latin alphabet.\nFor historical reasons, there are two different characters in Unicode, which appear slightly different in some fonts. The micro sign (\u00b5) is encoded in the \"Latin-1 Supplement\" range identical to ISO\/IEC 8859-1 (since 1985), at U+00B5 (Unicode 1.0, 1991). The Greek letter (\u03bc) is encoded in the Greek range at U+03BC.\nIn circumstances in which only the Latin alphabet is available, the prefix can be represented using the letter u as in um for \u03bcm, or uF for \u03bcF. In some contexts, such as pharmacy, microgram is often written \"mcg\", which is nonstandard.
