This article describes the SI prefix. For other meanings, see
Micro. micro- (µ) is a
prefix in the
SI and other systems of
units denoting a factor of 10−6 (one
millionth). Confirmed in
1960, the prefix comes from the
Greek (), meaning "small".The symbol for it is the micro sign µ, the Greek letter
mu (μ). For historical reasons, these are two different characters in
Unicode, which appear slightly different in some fonts. The micro sign 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 is encoded in the Greek range at U+03BC.
