What does Μ mean?
Μ is the capital form of Mu, letter 12 of 24 in the Greek alphabet (pronounced MEW). Its lowercase counterpart is μ. In science and maths it is used for: Micro prefix (10⁻⁶), coefficient of friction, mean. Capital Mu looks the same as the Latin capital M, so LaTeX has no separate command for it — write M (or \mathrm{M}) in math mode.
