How to obtain the unit $\mu$

Hi all,
I have a simple/stupid/quick (pick the good one) question for Comsol 4.0(a).
I want to use the symbol ? in my legend (or unit while computing). Of course I can specify it in the geometry (?m), but after, everything is in meter.
How should I do to obtain the symbol corresponding to micro- ?
Best regards

Ok, I will reply to myself for the legends :
I just had to write "\mu".
the trick doesn't work in expression though... so if someone has an answer...

There are several options here:
- Some keyboards have µ as a special character that you access with the AltGr button (on the M key, for example). You can then specify a dimension as 4.5[µm], for example.
- You can replace µ with u as an SI prefix for "micro" in units, so 4.5[um] works fine, too.
- For the geometry you can use µm as the length unit. COMSOL then interprets all numbers that you enter for the geometry as micrometers unless you explicitly specify the unit.
Hope this helps,
