What I've seen, over the years since it was introduced (~2009), on the various forae specializing in these cameras is that the the name of the format is usually spelled out as micro-FourThirds with a 'most common' abbreviation of mFT. µ43 or µ4/3 are both reasonable too, but most people don't care to look up where the Greek "mu" (µ) character is on their keyboards. The proper full name, according to Olympus and Panasonic, is "Micro Four Thirds" with capitalization, but the only place I've seen that used is in their operating manuals for their various cameras or in some magazines' editorial verbiage.
