1 millimetre is equal to:

  • 0.001 metres, which can be represented by 1 E-3 m (1 metre is equal to 1,000 millimetres)
  • 0.1 centimetres (1 centimetre is equal to 10 millimetres)
  • about 0.03937 international inches (1 international inch is equal to 25.4 millimetres exactly)

[edit] Unicode symbols

For the purposes of compatibility with Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) characters, Unicode has symbols for:

  • millimetre (㎜) - code 339C
  • square millimetre (㎟) - code 339F
  • cubic millimetre (㎣) - code 33A3

They are useful only with East Asian fixed-width CJK fonts, because they are equal in size to one Chinese character.
