Microgram Symbol µg

The character reviewed on this page is µg; its encoded identity is U+00B5 U+0067. µg is the SI unit symbol for microgram: the micro prefix µ represents 10⁻⁶ and g represents gram. Examples include 25 µg, Dose: 100 µg, Concentration: 5 µg/L, and Mass: 0.5 µg. The Microgram Symbol examples place µg beside wording that makes the intended role clear to readers. Keep the page’s intent exact. A visual resemblance alone is not enough to substitute another glyph. Frequent failures include writing mg when µg is intended, using mcg in one table and µg in another without a style decision, and omitting the space after the number. For Microgram Symbol, confirm that the pasted text still contains µg and has not been replaced by a visually similar form. Formatting should follow these retained rules: place a space between the number and µg, use the micro sign consistently in technical output, do not pluralize the symbol as µgs, and check that a dosage value has the intended prefix. The encoding references are µ g in decimal HTML, µ g in hexadecimal HTML, and B5 67 for CSS. Verify the complete sequence after copy and paste. A useful scope question is “Why can µg look different?” The reviewed answer is: Fonts and emoji platforms use different shapes, spacing, and artwork while preserving the same encoded characters. Typing can be checked in two environments. Windows: copy µg from this page or enter the complete sequence U+00B5 U+0067 in a Unicode-aware editor. macOS: Open Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search for the first character name, or copy µg from this page. Before publishing, compare the pasted result with U+00B5 U+0067, keep a readable label near unfamiliar glyphs, and confirm that the surrounding sentence still expresses the intended mcg symbol.
