My guess is that the originator was trying to be cute and generate the greek
letter "mu" for the traditional abbreviation of microfarad, but screwed up
and generated "ae" instead.

From the early '90s, it's probably a DOS document. If you cut the
"ae", paste it in Notepad, save the file, get to a DOS prompt, and
open with Edit, you'll see "mu". Just a different character set.
