No of course not! People write some χιλ. or even χιλιοστόμετρα.

they do not abbreviate it since since newspapers either use
μικρόμετρο or μm.

As for the OP's demand, I'm disappointed Philip hasn't devised the

Hi,
having seen the examples for \section in different scripts I am more
than respectful for people, whose mother tongue is written in a script
other than latin (greek-cyrillic). (I myself have only lived in the
latin world plus half a year in China.): I couldn't effeciently read

Sometimes they write C and some times
I think you misunderstand what em and ex are. The ex is the height of a
lowercase letter without ascenders or descenders (the height of x) - This
concept exists in Greek (but is not equal to the height of ξ). The em is
traditionally the width of the upper case letter M, but today, it is
