'mu' (micro) is lowercase Greek letter M (btw: a numerical prefix denoting
1,000,000 (10^6)) and a prefix meaning one-millionth (10^-6) (example:
micrometer (um), microfarad (uF), ...)

try typing <ALT>230 on your numeric keypad, that should do the trick. It's
the symbol called 'mu' from the Greek (??) alphabet which is the symbol that
in geometry stands for 1000th of a centimeter or something like that...
(correct me if I'm wrong here mathheads ;) But anyways, Mike P. did it
because when you pronounce µ-ziq you should say: "music". Isn't it
ingenious? ;)
Greetings,
