"µ" is pronounced like the sound of the letter "m" followed without a pause by the word "you" - "myou". Sort of a sound you'd imagine a cat would make.

It's Greek and is used a lot in engineering fields as an abbreviation for the prefix "micro", as in 5 microvolts = 5µV. You would read it in that arrangement as "microvolts", not "myou" volts.

The letter µ is pronounced as "mew" in English. It is commonly used in physics and mathematics to represent the prefix "micro-", indicating one millionth of a unit.
