I was completely unaware that there were single-character entities for
those units.

A single character for "cc" is silly because "cc" is in fact the initials
of two words: cubic centimetres.

A single character for µg is also pretty pointless because 'µ' is a prefix
to 'g' in the same way that 'K' is for example. Is there also a
single-character entity for "mg"? or "Kg"? "ng", "pg" or "fg"?
