Special Characters
µcad is already using a Unicode character in its name and it allows even more Unicode to improve readability of scientific unit notations within the source code.
Sadly the majority of keyboards do not support some of them. In this case you may easily replace the special characters like shown in the following table.
| Original Character | Replacement | Example | Equivalent | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
µ | m, u | µcad | mcad,ucad | file extension, markdown testing |
µ | u | µm, µl | um, ul | micro prefix in metric units |
° | deg | 3° | 3deg | angle unit |
² | 2 | 3m² | 3m2 | area units |
³ | 3 | 3m³ | 3m3 | volume units |
