Usage notes
Important distinctions
- In statistics μ often denotes a population mean; before a unit it can denote the SI prefix micro, as in μm or μg.
- Greek small mu μ (U+03BC) and the legacy micro sign µ (U+00B5) look similar but are different code points. Consistent use improves searching and text processing.
