Talk:Micro sign

Micro sign is derived from the small Greek letter mu (&#956;) and looks very similar to it (if not outright identical).

They look the same to me. What's the supposed difference?--Sonjaaa 23:04, Nov 26, 2004 (UTC)

why?
anyone got any official sources on why mu and the micro sign were disunified. my guess is it was because iso-8859-1 had it and they wanted a sane grouping of greek but i'd like a source before adding anything to the article. Plugwash 21:10, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
