Found it:
\registerunit [prefix] [µ=micro]
\starttext
\unit{10 micro meter} \crlf
\unit{10 µm}
\stoptext
Should this be the default (µ assigned to micro)?

You're right \unit{10 Farad} works.

Makes sense if you think about it. Never crossed my mind that ft not
meaning feet in this instance and also never contemplated the
existence of a “femto tonne”.

That gives some insight, indeed. Thanks.
What about:
\unit{10 um}
\unit{10 µm}
Can I assign µ to mean micro (prefix)?

Hi!
I struggle using the unit Farad (unit of capacitance):
The unit "farad" exists.
\starttext
%% prints 10 10 ft
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\registerunit [F=Farad]
\setupunittext [Farad=F]
%% prints 10 F 20 F⋅t
\unit{10 F}
\unit{20 ft}
\stoptext
When registering Farad as new unit it messes up feet. This looks
like a bug to me, since “20 ft” does not contain a capital “F” and
units are case-sensitive. How to use Farad correctly without messing
up other units?
The unit for feet is "foot" and "ft" is a combination of a prefix
(femto) and a unit (tonne).
You can list the individual parts in the log file with the
"physics.units" tracker.
To get a short unit you have to use the following method (it works
because farad exists):
\registerunitshortcut [F=farad]
