Microsecond Symbol µs

Microsecond Symbol is µs, the SI-style unit expression for one millionth of a second. The micro prefix µ represents 10⁻⁶ and the lowercase s represents second. Use the unit in timing values such as “10 µs,” “Pulse width: 5 µs,” and “Latency: 250 µs.” A space belongs between the number and the unit expression. The two characters µ and s stay together without an internal space. Do not replace µs with ms: ms is millisecond and is one thousand times larger. The plural word microseconds is written out in prose, but the unit symbol itself does not take a plural ending. Capital S is also incorrect for second. Preserve the micro sign and lowercase s when copying. In systems that cannot input µ, an approved style may use an alternative, but the notation should be consistent and documented. Accessible text can read “ten microseconds.”. This page covers a time unit, not fluoride chemistry or another use of the letter F. Recopy the sample “Accessible reading: ten microseconds,” confirm the final text still contains U+00B5 U+0073, and check that the visible heading names Microsecond. This final check protects Microsecond Symbol from font substitution, accidental character loss, and intent drift. µs is the SI unit symbol for microsecond: the micro prefix µ represents 10⁻⁶ and s represents second. For Microsecond Symbol, µs is encoded as U+00B5 U+0073, and its Unicode name is MICRO SIGN + LATIN SMALL LETTER S. Use µs in contexts such as Electronics timing, Network latency, Scientific instruments, Pulse measurements. For Microsecond Symbol, the surrounding words should make the intended meaning clear. You can use Microsecond Symbol in forms such as 10 µs; Pulse width: 5 µs; Latency: 250 µs; Sampling interval: 1 µs. Check the pasted result in the final font and application. Avoid these common Microsecond Symbol problems: Writing ms when µs is intended; Adding an s to form µss; Omitting the space after the value. Microsecond Symbol display and accessibility checks include the following: Place a space between the number and µs; Keep s lowercase and upright; Do not pluralize the unit symbol. Microsecond Symbol on Windows: Copy µs from this page or enter the complete sequence U+00B5 U+0073 in a Unicode-aware editor. Microsecond Symbol on Mac: Open Character Viewer with Control+Command+Space and search for the first character name, or copy µs from this page. Microsecond Symbol on iPhone: Tap the copy button for µs, then paste it into the target app. Save it as a text replacement for repeated use.
