Well, I would have used text, and "40 uA". Hard to misread.

Well if it's HTML what's wrong with a real mu? To be strictly
correct use a non-breaking space as well.
... 40 μA per MIPS.

I received the following note in an email newsletter:
"synchronous design startup readies ultra-low power 16-bit MCU
On the eve of the IP'2008 conference this week in Grenoble, Tiempo AS,
French startup specializing in the design of asynchronous ICs, has
unveiled a 16-bit microcontroller core that is claimed to consume less
than 40 A per MIPS."
I wonder if this core is from one of those companies that also make
refrigerators and air conditioning units? ;-)
On a less humorous note, I assume that a 'micro' symbol is missing
in the last sentence. The newsletter was HTML formatted, but there
was only a space between '40' and 'A'. What should be used
to denote microAmps? I would have used "40uA".
