Is there a reason why the mu does not appear upright in the reference glyph for U+3382 ㎂, U+338C ㎌, U+338D ㎍, U+3395 ㎕, U+339B ㎛, U+33B2 ㎲, U+33B6 ㎶ and U+33BC ㎼ of the CJK Compatibility code chart? I also see it this way in fonts such as Junicode, Unifont and WenQuanYi Zen Hei while U+00B5 µ is displayed upright there. “Prefix symbols are printed in roman (upright) type, as are unit symbols, regardless of the type used in the surrounding text, […].” (SI Brochure)

By the way, U+3396 ㎖ is displayed with a capital M instead of a small m in Droid Sans Fallback (as included in my Ubuntu system) and Arial Unicode MS, suggesting “megaliter” instead of “milliliter”! The latter font has not been developed further since version 1.01, does someone know about the former? Droid fonts can be purchased at fonts.com but I cannot find the fallback font there (so maybe contacting Ascender would be of no use).

Best regards
Ivan
