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. 59 minutes ago, BlueLance said: If i remember correctly Micro is a funny shaped "u" isnt it? Yes -- it's called mu ( sounds like m-e-w.. almost something a cat would say ). 53 minutes ago, Saturnus said: alt gr + m = µ If you do not have access to µ you use a regular u.

It is perfectly acceptable within the SI rules to use ug if you don't have access to writing µg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
