Adding units in axis

Is there a library in python to include symbols in graphs using matplotlib? I want my y-axis to represent Velocity in micrometer per second, which should have y-axis as V (µm/s). I am not able to insert in my code "micro" symbol. Currently I am plotting as V(um/s). 

plt.ylabel('V (um/s)', fontsize = 10)
Solution

  • Try 

    plt.ylabel('V (\u03BCm/s)')

    Output:
