Guest 		I'm transcribing part of a biology book and I'm not sure how to braille the symbol for micrometer (μm). The sentence reads:

"Mitochondria are sausage-shaped organelles 1-3 μm long."

I know the μ is Greek for mu (braille dots 1, 3, 4). I don't think it requires a letter indicator because it's not freestanding. What do you suggest?


Thank you.

Guest 		This is technically a literary question because it deals with a basic braille symbol. And that means EBAE. Take a look in English Braille American Edition 1994 rev. 2002.See Rule V. 24.e (on page V-4) Non-Latin Letters. It requires a dot 2, the non-Latin letter indicator.
