I'd hope that the prefix would be removed at least when yanking and
pasting in TeX mode.
The units in question are
pt = 100:7227 in (point)
in = 254:100 cm (inch)
pc = 12pt (pica)
cm
mm
bp = 1:72 in (big point, same as PostScript's idea of point)
dd = 1238:1157pt (Didot point)
cc = 12dd (cicero)
sp = 1:65536 pt (scaled TeX point, smallest representable dimension
in TeX)
TeX also has dimensions ex and em, but those depend on the current
font size.
