Hi all! I’m working on a Biology text and have run across the abbreviation for micromillimeter. The print uses the greek lower case mu followed by a lower case m. How do I do this in braille? (In the EBAE, the braille for mu is an m, but this won’t work, since it’ll look like the abbrev. for millimeter)
Thanks for your help!

If you are transcribing in the Nemeth Code you would use the Greek letter indicator (46) followed by m (134). The second m shown in print would immediately follow the Greek mu.
