All of these codes come from the greek page of Unicode. I'd bet that
the one generated in my schematics is U+0B5[1] which is the "micro sign"
according to gucharmap (and no I don't want need greek text on my
schematics[2] but the µ prefix is damn useful for capacitors and
inductors) and probably the one implemented a long time ago in Adobe/Apple
early PostScript interpreters (LaserWriter). It has been on Apple
keyboards for a very long time as Alt-m (perhaps even on Apple II).

[2] I really did study classical greek for five years and very little
modern greek but they are both long forgotten.
