Because of this, it's not necessary to worry about whether the µ in the CJK squared Latin abbreviations is italic or roman in any given font. Fonts will be fonts. Glyph variation happens. Rendering ㎖ with a capital M does seem to be a violation of character identity, but Arial Unicode MS has not been updated since 2000 and this problem is likely to remain unsolved. Bugs in fonts happen. The designers / owners are the ones that would be responsible to fix those. Some may be happy about a bug report.
