The question is old, I stumbled upon it because I was asking myself the same question, and in the end, I found it!

No need to use a Greek keyboard or anything: the µ symbol is hidden with the Pi symbol, at least on my Google Keyboard,

just long-click on the Pi symbol, and it will be there, next to omega and uppercase Pi.

There you go, it's a gift for the next ones who will need this info.

Well seen! It doesn't seem to exist with Samsung keyboards.

Hello,

You cannot have the character µ on a French Android keyboard.

The solution is therefore to add the Greek keyboard in the input keyboards.

For Google's Gboard:

  • When the keyboard is displayed, tap on the gear icon for Settings (at the top of the keyboard)
  • Add a keyboard: You choose Greek.
  • Close the settings screen.
  • When you are in the text editor, simply switch keyboards by long-pressing the space bar. You type the Greek letters and return to the French keyboard in the same way.

With other keyboards than Gboard, the principle is the same; switching between keyboards may be done differently (additional key), but it should also be quick (tested with Samsung keyboard).

What one conceives well is clearly expressed,
And the words to say it come easily.
