If i remember correctly Micro is a funny shaped "u" isnt it?

alt gr + m = µ 

If you do not have access to µ you use a regular u. You do not under any circumstances (unless you work in the medical in the USA only) use mcg.

No. It is not. You'd fail 5th grade in my country. mcg is only used as microgram in the medical industry in the USA. No where else. It even says so directly in the wiki link you posted but didn't bother to read first.

Well I make medical equipment, so that would explain why I'm familiar with it.

Yes -- it's called mu ( sounds like m-e-w.. almost something a cat would say ).

What about for us Americans who don't have an altgr? ;)

As already written, use a lower case u. It is perfectly acceptable within the SI rules to use ug if you don't have access to writing µg.
